  • Sunday, the right side Hamari Traore sent a missile in the goal of Athlético Marseille and allowed his team to qualify for the round of 16.
  • The Malian defender's first goal recalls certain mines sent by the biggest names in Stade Rennais.
  • Frei, Kallström and even Pagis made the fans dream with striking strikes.

A satchel in full skylight. Sunday afternoon, the right side of Stade Rennais Hamari Traore took care of his shot. Mocked by the supporters for his lack of efficiency in front of the cage, the Malian scored his first goal in Red and Black in a superb half-volley from outside the area. A sumptuous goal that hurt the players of Athletic Marseille and allows the Rennes, defending champions, to continue their adventure in the Coupe de France. Before him, several players have already distinguished themselves in the art of the bag. Bourigeaud and Sarr wowed the gallery last year in the Europa League. And many others before them. Non-exhaustive and purely subjective selection.

Ismaïla Sarr, the incredible firecracker

It was THE most beautiful goal of the 2018-2019 vintage of the Europa League. Sent into the window of the goalkeeper of Jablonec during the first match of Rennes in the competition, the firecracker of Ismaïla Sarr is a marvel of dry strike.

Bam, bam, bam Arsenal

It is still in the minds. While Sokratis has just been sent off, Benjamin Bourigeaud is on a free kick. The midfielder hits the wall but the ball returns to him. The former Lensois then armed an overpowered satchel that left Petr Cech speechless. That day, Rennes will win 3-1 against Arsenal in a magical evening. Bam, bam, bam Bourigeaud.

Frei humiliates Barthez

That evening, he had registered a quadruple and allowed Rennes to win against an Olympique de Marseille which included in its ranks a certain Didier Drogba. We are in 2004 and the Swiss Alexander Frei humiliates Fabien Barthez for the third time of the evening with a clear strike allowing his team to take the lead. 4-3 victory for Rennes and status as an eternal legend for the attacker.

Pagis the magician

During a match against OL in October 2008, Mickaël Pagis became Pagistral. Already the author of a double, the Rennes striker sends a firecracker into the Lyon goal and alone comes to inflict on the seven-time title holder his first defeat of the season in Ligue 1. He was 35 years old and entered the legend of the club . "We talk about it again," he said a few years ago.

Alessandrini, the canon of law

Yes, Romain Alessandrini is left-handed. But this evening in September 2012, he has the right to score one of the most beautiful goals of his career. The half-volley from the Marseille native pierces Mickaël Landreau, then goalkeeper of Losc. Wow!

Severino Lucas, the revenge of the Brazilian

It still carries the reputation of the most expensive transfer in the history of Stade Rennais. Criticized for its lack of efficiency, Severino Lucas silenced his detractors this evening in 2002, when he snapped a cannon ball in the goal of Bastia. The boy was found last year to find out what happened to him after his career in Japan. He only scored 11 goals in 84 games. But there is a place in this top.

Kim Kallström, the left trigger

He could not prevent the defeat of his family. But this evening in 2005, the Swede Kim Kallström scored one of the most beautiful goals of the Ligue 1 season. Then led by the great Olympique Lyonnais, the midfielder rises a ball and strikes it sharply from the left, at nose and beard of Cris and Grégory Coupet. At a time when goalkeepers were still wearing caps…
