Lille FC has secured their place in the UEFA Europa League's knockout stages after a thrilling 3-1 victory over fellow relegation hopefuls Paris Saint-Germain FC on Wednesday night.

The home side started brightly and were soon ahead with a goal from Christian Eriksen just before half-time. However, it was PSG who struck back with a penalty kick to level things up, following a corner taken by Christian Benteke.

The second-half saw both teams battle it out for control of possession and scoring opportunities. It was Lille who took advantage when they scored through a well-taken header from Yannick Vidalin. The Frenchman then added an own goal for extra points to seal a dramatic victory.

In addition to securing a spot in the next round, Lille also moved into second place in the table and will now face Lyon FC in the quarter-finals on Thursday night.

The victory against PSG is another positive result for Lille FC, who have struggled recently without key players like Mathieu Debuchy and Adil Rami. With this win, the team can now look forward to facing some strong opposition in the Europa League, including Real Madrid and Manchester United.

It's clear that Lille FC has a lot to be proud of as they continue to push for success in the league. With this victory, they move closer to securing a spot in the UEFA Europa League's knock-out rounds and could even qualify for the Champions League.

Overall, the victory over PSG is a testament to the resilience of the Lille FC squad and the hard work they put in during the season. They'll need to continue producing consistent performances at all levels if they want to reach the final of Europe's premier club competition.
