OM's heroic victory

OM leads 1-0 and in the second half, the Phocaeans heroically hold this meager advantage. Basile Boli lives his greatest emotion as a sportsman. "I beat the greatest team in the world at the time. Bernard Tapie had made it clear that you could beat anyone and anytime. For me, it was an exceptional moment of my career," recalls the only scorer of the final.

At the final whistle, the legendary president of the club Bernard Tapie turns around and rushes into the arms of his wife. "He turned around, he kissed me. Me, I see him on the screen, I tell him, we got it, "recalls Dominique Tapie. From this Wednesday, May 24, it's off for three days of non-stop celebrations on the old port and everywhere in France for the millions of OM fans.
