“Who doesn't jump is Nantes!
Hey!
Who does not jump is not Nantes!
400 km from the Stade de France, a noisy madness took hold of Nantes city center this Saturday evening at the end of this Coupe de France final which saw FC Nantes triumph over OGC Nice (1-0 ).
The explosion of collective joy is commensurate with the frustration accumulated by the Canary supporters for twenty years.
" They did it !!
She is for us!
It's huge !
I believed in it of course but, in real life, I can't believe it ” reacted, a little amazed, Chloé, born in 2001, the year of the last trophy (French championship) raised by the club.
“There is a whole generation that had never vibrated like that”
“I will remember it all my life”, gets carried away by his side Victor, 19 years old.
"We've been waiting for this moment for so long," continues the young man.
We feel that something is happening with this team.
Look at this crowd, it's great, it's beautiful.

It's won!!!

But it was nothing compared to the din of the opener by Ludovic Blas and the jubilation of the final whistle, with a lot of smoke.
“We win with a generous penalty, like in 1999 and 2000, laughs Yacine.
But we don't care.
The FCN is back!
The European Cup is ours.

“I'm happy for the young people, observes Jean-Yves, a little behind the tumult.
There is a whole generation of supporters who had never vibrated like that, except for the French team.
It was time.

The party continues this Friday evening throughout the city center.
Thousands of people streamed towards the Place Royale, the usual place of celebration of great victories.
Sunday afternoon, the atmosphere should also be warm since the players will present the Coupe de France to the public.
And as after every great victory (but it's been a long time), the people of Nantes gather around the fountain in the Place Royale… pic.twitter.com/mJ0p5ImxZ0
