The Girondins of Bordeaux are to date the French team having disputed the most meetings of Cut of Europe of Football (Intertoto except): 138, with small ten matches in advance on Monaco and more still on the Lyon, Marseilles, Nantes, or Saint-Etienne of which we would think more easily.

Course

In this end of summer 1984, the moral one is with the good shape with the Girondins of Bordeaux. The club gained three months earlier its first championship in thirty-four years, finally putting a term at one frustrating series of second places. The team of France, to strong framework of Bordeaux, comes to gain with the Euro 84 the first major title of French football. One says that the occasion is beautiful for the Of Gironde ones to go until the end out of Cut of Europe, which no French team made a success of until there. The trainer of Of Gironde, some Aime Jacquet, summarizes the whole of a concise formula the day before the drawing lot of the first tower of the Coupe of the Champions: “ France is champion of Europe. Bordeaux is champion of France. We do not have to fear anybody.

The fate immediately puts this beautiful insurance to the test while offering to Of Gironde poisoned gift: the Athletic Bilbao, representative of a Spanish football then in full euphoria (the national selection has just reached the final of the Euro 84), with match outward journey in Bordeaux. The trap seems started after 90 minutes with Lescure: Basques, directed hand of Master by an unknown named Javier Lenient (which will know then glory with the orders of the Spanish national team and of the OM, inter alia), planted counter assassins vis-a-vis the domination of Bordeaux and inclined themselves only 3-2. But with the return, the Girondins make lie the reputation of brittleness of the French teams outside. Interdependent, organized well, present in the duels, they preserve one 0-0 which offers a qualification full with promises to them.

The second turn opposes the Girondins to the Dinamo Bucharest, where a good half of the Rumanian national team evolves/moves which it also has been just distinguished with the Euro 84 by eliminating Italy in particular. The Girondins receive again in first and are essential with difficulty 1-0. To the return, Dinamo leads 1-0 at the end of regulatory time and one earlier fears a remake of elimination in UEFA two years by other Roumanians, those of Craiova (1-0, 0-2 a.p.). It is to know little about the new solidity of the champions of the country champion of Europe, which tears off equalization in prolongation and is qualified for the quarterfinals for the first time of their history. One starts to think that this Bordeaux wine can travel…

Only French team still in race in spring 1985, Bordeaux falls on a new bone with the Soviets from Dniepropetrovsk, which it owes (still!) to receive in first. One knows few things of these surprising champions of the USSR before the match outward journey, and not in any case the Krakovski guard who multiplies the miracles (stopping even a penalty of Dieter Müller) and preserves almost with him only the null result 1-1. The return match misses turning to the joke. Dniepropetrovsk, classified strategic zone, is indeed prohibited the abroads and the match is moved towards the city close to Krivoï-Rog where the Of Gironde ones are placed of force. The conditions of stay and drive are deplorable, so much so that the president Claude Bez threat not to make play. The incident is finally avoided a few hours before the kickoff and the match takes place on a lawn mouthful of water, roasted by freezing, unworthy of a meeting of Cut of Europe. During 75 minutes, the Soviet road roller breaks. The Girondins resist nozzle and nails but are carried out all the same 1-0. And then the champions of the USSR lower mode, spaces open, and the Navy and White finally mark on one their rare counter-attacks the goal which sends them in prolongation. This one does not give anything; it is necessary to come to the shootings to the goal. Of Bordeaux mark them four first without blow to férir (vis-a-vis same Krakovski which had nauseated them with the match outward journey), Dropsy stops a Soviet shooting, and it is the Chalana convalescent who enters the legend of Of Gironde by registering the shooting to the victorious goal… of his bad foot!

No the adversary easy to hope in semi-final, and it is the Juventus which leaves the hat with Platini, Boniek, and a half-dozen of world champions in title. This time, however, one moves initially. In the Communal environment of fire of Stadio, the Girondins are outclassed and concede three goals without returning only one of them. If the first and the third do not lend to discussion, second as for him is sullied with an obvious fault of Briaschi not whistled by the referee who will give birth to many regrets. Because two weeks later in the Gironde, Navy and White, perhaps piqués with sharp by the " une" assassinate the Team the shortly after Turin (" Juve, it is different chose"), deliver a service of the best European level. More than 40.000 spectators came this April 25th 1985 in Lescure (a record which always holds) to push Dropsy - Thouvenel, Specht, Battiston, Tusseau - Girard, Tigana, Giresse, Rohr then Chalana - Lacombe, Müller, which launches out to the attack as of the kickoff. They carry out 1-0 quickly (Dieter Müller, 25th) and drive back Juve on its goal, pushing without panicking and knowing not to expose itself to counter. But Italian defense holds without weakening… until the 79ème minute when Battiston strips of 30 meters a genuine missile which strikes down the Bodini guard. The end of match is exceptional of intensity. The Italians return as they can, the balloon reconsiders without stop the goal inhabitant of Turin, but nothing passes, Bodini carrying out even the impossible one on a shooting with ground short-nap cloth of Tigana to the corner of the six meters in the stops of play. Winners 2-0, the Of Gironde ones must return the weapons with the honors and a little bitterness. Without this second litigious goal of Briaschi to go it, indeed, which knows what could have arrived? The continuation of the events will confirm that Liverpool de Dalglish and Rush, champion of Europe in title and unhappy adversary of Juve (0-1) finally a month later in Brussels, was seizable this year…
