On the Radio Foot program today: Garrincha, the sad story of an icon, of a genius player who marked his time.

The itinerary of an unspoiled child with crooked legs, the myth of Brazilian football and just football.

Journalist Marcelin Chamoin wrote the biography of the elusive dribbler, and will talk to us about the dazzling winger.

Publicity

- The consequences of the media storm caused by the Super League: Florentino Perez clings to his competing Champions League project, the project continues to arouse outcry from supporters. - Real Madrid received a hostile reception in Cadiz, but Casa Blanca won easily. Doubled by Benzema, the Merengue find themselves at the top of the standings pending the meeting of the Colchoneros. - Coupe de France: PSG and Monaco join Rumilly Vallières and Montpellier in the semi-finals. - Offensive festival near the Parc des Princes. - Monaco pulled out their claws in Lyon, no avalanche of goals, but a tense, choppy encounter, and a shower of boxes, and Lyonnais lacking success, and frustrated by the refereeing of Stéphanie Frappart.

With Annie Gasnier, Naïm “Garrincha” Moniolle, Marcelin Chamoin and Chérif Ghemmour.

Technique / Director: Laurent Salerno, preparation: David Fintzel / Pierre Guérin.

Kick-off 16:10 UT
