Vincent Enyeama will play in the Champions League again next season after Lille finished third in Ligue 1.

Going into their last fixture against Lorient, Les Dogues had been competing with Saint-étienne for the last Champions League spot and even a draw would not have sufficed as their nearest challengers defeated Ajaccio 3 - 1.

Deputy Super Eagles skipper, Enyeama was in between the pipes for the 38th time this term as a brace from Salomon Kalou assisted Lille defeat Lorient 4 - 1 at the Stade Yves Allainmat - Le Moustoir.

Thus, the Northern France outfit maintained their two - point advantage over Saint-étienne.

Vincent Enyeama has previously tasted Champions League football while on the payroll of Hapoel Tel Aviv and was in goal on October 18, 2011 in Lille’s 1 - 0 loss to Inter Milan at Stadium Nord Lille Métropole.

The 31 - year - old  has netted twice in this competition, against Salzburg and Lyon.
