Another human victory drama embroidered the ground.
Nabil Bentaleb (Lille) is back. Bentaleb, who collapsed due to a heart attack in June last year, scored the winning goal four minutes after replacing Stade Ren in the 22nd round of the 2024-2025 League 1 at Loazon Park on the 17th (Korea time) to help his team win 2-0.
Bentaleb, who made his debut in the first division in 2013 after playing for the Tottenham Hotspur Youth Team, once shared a team with Son Heung-min. He was loaned to Schalke 04 (Germany) in 2016, and moved to the German Bundesliga the following year. Since then, he has been active in Lille since 2023 after being loaned to Newcastle United and transferred to Ange. The Algerian team has scored five goals in 52 A matches.

Not many expected him to return after suffering a sudden heart attack last year. However, Bentaleb, who underwent a bloody rehabilitation, was recently approved by the French Football Association for a return, and made a miracle to shoot a goal in the first game. After scoring, Bentaleb ran to the reel bench and shared his joy, and his teammates went wild around him.
Director Bruno Genesio Lille said "It was something that could be made into a movie" Bentaleb's goal gave him an indescribable feeling. Not only this season, but also the history of the club, a goal that deserves to be engraved in Bentaleb's heart."
Lille is fifth with 38 points as of now, having played 122 league games. The season has not been completed yet, but if we keep our current ranking, we are in a position to play in the European club competition next season. There may be a day when everyone will watch Bentaleb, who overcame adversity and achieved his desire to return to the ground, roar once again.
