RC Lens and Celtic FC fans have a similar reputation, making European nights on home turf a memorable occasion for everyone in attendance.
Nestled in northern France, RC Lens presents a distinct storyline in European football. The club's trophy cabinet looks painfully empty compared to most other clubs competing in the UEFA Champions League. They won their first and only Ligue 1 title during the 1997/98 season, beating Metz on goal difference. Lens has sporadically graced the UEFA Champions League, appearing in the 1998/99, 2002/03, and 2023/24 group stages.
In contrast, Celtic FC’s trophy collection is remarkable. The club's domestic prowess, often in fierce rivalry with Rangers FC, has culminated in over 50 Scottish Premiership titles. However, Celtic's crowning glory arrived in 1967, when Jock Stein’s men defeated Inter Milan 2-1 in the European Cup final.
Despite frequent appearances in recent UEFA Champions League group stages, Celtic FC have struggled to compete with the best teams in Europe. One standout season was their journey to the round of 16 during the 2012/13 season. They were crushed by Juventus in the knockout fixture, but fans still look back fondly on the memorable 2-1 triumph over FC Barcelona in the group stage.
