Stade Rochelais defied all predictions and overcame the Irish from Leinster this Saturday (24-21) at the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille in the Champions Cup final. Indescribable.
An unbreathable end to the match and long minutes spent in front of the Irish goal line until Arthur Retière’s liberating try and his telescopic arm. The transformation of this third La Rochelle try transformed by Ihaia West ended up tipping La Rochelle into soft madness.

Drunk with happiness, some (many) even threw themselves into the waters of the port, despite the instructions for caution. Impossible to contain for the most daring of the yellow and black people.
Social networks went up in flames to immortalize the performance of the Maritimes and congratulate the heroes of La Rochelle for their first European coronation. The president of the FFR Bernard Laporte is delighted with the performance of the French clubs.

But the most prestigious presidential post published on Twitter is that of the head of state in person, Emmanuel Macron. “A boiling Vélodrome stadium, a thrilling final, and the key: a first European Rugby Cup for La Rochelle! Congratulations to the Maritimers who are rising to the roof of Europe.”

Another president was in heaven this Saturday, it is obviously Vincent Merling. The key man, the builder, as discreet as he is passionate. This European Cup is also and above all his. The modest triumph, he still posed with the trophy in the halls of the Stade Vélodrome.

Double decker bus
The new European champions should land very late or very early – it depends – in Charente-Maritime. After a night of drunkenness worthy of their feat, they will be celebrated this Sunday evening. From 7 p.m., a double-decker bus will parade through the Old Port. It will leave the station to go to the foot of the Tour de la Chaîne after a few festive stops. A giant screen must be installed on the Square Valin.
Note that traffic will be totally impossible on the Old Port from 2 p.m. Buses will be diverted to secondary axes. All car parks will remain open, but the municipality strongly encourages people to favor soft modes of travel.
