Reims signs their return to the European Cup, after 57 years of absence, with a match in the second qualifying round of the Europa League at Servette de Genève, Thursday in a day which also marks the entry into the running of Tottenham and the 'AC Milan.

The Champagne formation, qualified for the benefit of its 6th place in Ligue 1 at the end of the 2019/20 season truncated by the coronavirus pandemic, is preparing for a symbolic poster (8:45 p.m.), between two clubs which participated in the first edition of the Champion Clubs' Cup in 1955, the ancestor of the current Champions League.

If they start favorites, David Guion's men should be wary of the unusual format, on a dry sleeve, which can lead to a surprise.

Tottenham, finalist of the C1 in 2019, returns to Europe (6:00 p.m.) by a trip to the Bulgarians of Lokomotiv Plovdiv.

Same trap for AC Milan, who visits the Irish Shamrock Rovers (8:00 p.m.).
