Facing the Servette, Reims reconnects with its glorious European past

It's not the Servette, it's Monaco (but we didn't have a picture of the match, sorry not sorry).

The Stade de Reims in the European Cup version is back!

Mistreated throughout the match, the Rémois still managed their reunion with Europe by winning their ticket for the 3rd qualifying round of the Europa League on Thursday after a victory (1-0) on the lawn of Servette in Geneva.

Double finalist in the Champion Clubs' Cup against Real Madrid (1956, 1959), Reims returned to the European scene after more than 57 years of absence.

And he recorded his first success since the correction (5-0) inflicted on Austria Vienna thanks in particular to a double from Raymond Kopa in the round of 16 second leg of C1 on November 14, 1962 ...

The Champagne club, which won thanks to a goal from the Kosovar international Valon Berisha, who scored early in the game (4th), will move next Thursday to the lawn of the Hungarians of Fehervar, winners of the Maltese of Hibernians (1 -0).

David Guion's men should be wary of this opponent who eliminated Bordeaux in the C3 play-offs only three years ago.
