• RC Strasbourg lost 4-0 on Saturday night in Marseille.

    A defeat that weighs heavily for this last day of Ligue 1.

  • With Saturday's results, the Alsatians will not play in the European Cup next season.

    Disappointment ?

    "We had a remarkable season," said coach Julien Stéphan.

  • “All Alsatians must continue to believe in us.

    You shouldn't be sad,” said team captain Dimitri Liénard.

Seven minutes.

This is the time it took RC Strasbourg to lose their European qualification on Saturday evening.

Time, too, for Andy Delort, to score a hat-trick.

The Niçois allowed his people to overturn the game and win in Reims (3-2).

To steal fifth place in Ligue 1 from Alsatians swept away at the same time in Marseille (4-0).

A cruel end for Racing, in the Top 5 from the 20th to the 33rd day… “We had a remarkable season”, wanted to positively coach Julien Stéphan, who had recovered a team in great difficulty last summer.

The partners of Dimitri Liénard then came out of an exercise where the maintenance had been ensured during the final day.

A year later, he played in a "final" for a place in the European Cup!

“But we are Strasbourg”

"You have to remember where you are coming from, the path taken", recalled the technician.

“I want to pay tribute to the players for their work, their progress.

63 points is remarkable.

Inevitably there is disappointment because 63 points have not been enough for a very long time.

But we are Strasbourg.

We have 21 points more than last season but three are missing.

»

Three that could have been taken before.

When the Strasbourg residents stupidly conceded a draw in Reims (1-1), against Lyon (1-1) or in Troyes (1-1).

Not to mention the somewhat harsh defeats in Bordeaux (4-3) or Lille (1-0) ... "It's not tonight that we lose qualification", swept Julien Stéphan, who did not want to stay on a negative note, despite this final disappointment.

At the microphone of France Bleu Alsace in the corridors of the Vélodrome, Dimitri Liénard sent the same message.

Aimed at supporters.

“Let them be proud of us!

We are proud of them.

All Alsatians must continue to believe in us.

You don't have to be sad.

When we remember all the exploits we have done this season, the Meinau that we thrilled to sold-out crowds, what we managed to do this year, it's extraordinary.
