Olympique Lillois were crowned the very first champions of French professional football in 1932\/1933, and Lille's post-war side took the mantle on with a famous league-and-cup double in 1946. Nicknamed Les Dogues (\"The Mastiffs\"), they share a fierce rivalry with neighbours Lens in the Derby du Nord.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2006\/2007 season, in which this sharp away shirt was worn, marked Les Dogues' seventh straight year in the top flight under long-serving manager Claude Puel. In the league it was a mid-table campaign - 10th in Ligue 1 on 50 points, with Lyon collecting a sixth consecutive French title - but Lille were flying the flag in the Champions League, and that was where the season truly came alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawn with AC Milan, Anderlecht and AEK Athens in Group H, Puel's side stunned the Italians 2-0 at the San Siro on the final matchday, Mathieu Bodmer setting up Peter Odemwingie and Kader Keïta to send Lille through as runners-up. The Round of 16 paired them with Manchester United, who edged the first leg 1-0 through a controversial Ryan Giggs free-kick taken before the wall had set, before Henrik Larsson sealed the tie at Old Trafford. Milan went on to lift the trophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIvorian winger Kader Keïta finished as Lille's top league scorer with 9 goals across 36 appearances, while Nigerian forward Peter Odemwingie chipped in with 5 of his own - including that unforgettable strike at the San Siro. Midfielder Mathieu Bodmer ran the show in the engine room, with Puel earning wider praise for nursing a modest squad into the Champions League last 16.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollow the club on X: @losclive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Surprise Shirts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55565738836344,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/5564\/9221\/files\/Lille2006_2007AwayShirt.jpg?v=1779209376","url":"https:\/\/surpriseshirts.co.uk\/products\/lille-2006-2007-away-shirt","provider":"Surprise Shirts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
