Bordeaux defeated Evian 3-2 to win the French Cup.

The match against Evian was Bordeaux's 10th French Cup final in history. In the previous 9 matches, history was not on the side of the Gironde team, as they had only won 3 and lost 6. However, against a weaker opponent - Evian, coach Francis Gillot's team took advantage of the opportunity to secure a 3-2 victory.

Bordeaux has just won its 4th French Cup title in history.

This is the fourth National Cup in the trophy room of the wine-producing region's team.

Bordeaux only truly overcame Evian thanks to the character and experience of a team that regularly plays in big matches. Evian played very bravely and resiliently. Twice they fell behind, but Evian managed to bring the game back to a draw each time. However, with the brilliance of striker Diabate (who scored a brace, including the winning goal for Bordeaux in the 89th minute), Evian had to watch the silver trophy return to Gironde.

Not long ago, the M6 ​​media group (owner of Bordeaux) expressed interest in selling the club because they didn't want to "waste money on something that doesn't bring in any profit" (referring to Bordeaux's failure to win any trophies since 2009 after winning the league double and the League Cup). However, with their fifth title since taking over Bordeaux in 1999, the television group no longer intends to abandon the club and wants to invest seriously in the transfer market for the next season.

Thus, Bordeaux is the last representative of French football to qualify for European competitions next season.
