The Red and Black people are hoping for a feat from their players this Thursday evening against Leicester at Roazhon Park. Beaten 2-0 in the first leg, Bruno Genesio’s men had to overturn a mountain to offer the club the first European quarter-final in its history.
The story could not have started better: in an incandescent stadium, Benjamin Bourigeaud opened the scoring in the 9th minute of play, well served within six meters of Kasper Schmeichel by Martin Terrier from the left side. Dominating without being dangerous, the Rennes returned to the locker room with this one-goal lead at the break.
Picked cold by a header from Fofana from a corner on the way back from the locker room, Bruno Genesio’s men have everything to do again.
