Nabil Bentaleb made an inspiring return to competitive football after suffering a cardiac arrest last June, scoring a crucial goal in Lille's 2-0 victory over Stade Rennais. His comeback was sanctioned by the French Football Federation, allowing him to play again after medical evaluations. Bentaleb, who had previously played for Tottenham and Newcastle, scored shortly after coming off the bench, celebrating with his teammates. Coach Bruno Genesio praised the moment, highlighting its significance in both the club’s history and Bentaleb's personal journey.
"Nabil's goal put us on cloud nine, it's hard to describe ... that will remain engraved in the history of the club, of this season."
"He deserved it ... it's an incredible, wonderful story."
