NEVER BEFORE | This will be the first ever meeting between Lille and Juventus in all competitions.

FRENCH FOES | Juventus have lost three of their last four Champions League matches (1W) played against French opponents, including both ties against PSG in the 2022/23 season.

FIRST-TIMERS | Nine different players have made their Champions League debut with Juventus this season, namely Kenan Yildiz, Andrea Cambiaso, Nico Gonzalez, Douglas Luiz, Michele Di Gregorio, Nicolo Savona, Vasilije Adzic, Jonas Rouhi and Juan Cabal: this is the highest number of debutant players for the Bianconeri in a season since 2012/2013 (11 in that case).
