On the evening of June 27, 2019, in the final match of the French Ligue 1 season, Lille defeated Nice 4-1 at the Stade de France in Paris to win the championship for the first time in 55 years.

The key player who helped Lille achieve this historic victory was Jonathan David, a Canadian striker who joined the team from Alacca Maxi Mecano in January 2018. In just his second full season with the club, David scored 26 goals in all competitions, becoming the top scorer in Ligue 1 and earning himself the Ligue 1 Golden Boot award.

David's exceptional form led to him being called up by Canada's national team ahead of the 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup tournament, where he scored four goals in five matches to help his country reach the semi-finals.

In the final match of the season, David came on as a substitute in the 73rd minute and scored a stunning goal that secured Lille's title. The goal was a header from a corner kick, which flew into the net off the post and then bounced over the crossbar before hitting the bottom left corner of the net.

Lille's victory ensured that they would qualify for the UEFA Europa League next season, giving them a chance to compete against some of Europe's best teams. David's goal will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the highlights of his career, and it is likely to have a positive impact on his chances of securing a place in the Canadian national team squad for future international tournaments.
