Division 1 1969/70

The Division 1 1970/71 was the 33rd edition of the professional French football league. Olympique Marseille became champion for the third time since 1937 .

The first game day was August 12, 1970, the last game day was June 26, 1971. There was only a short winter break from December 20; Point games took place again on New Year's Eve. Nevertheless, this was the longest season to date in the planned time frame; only the 1967/68 season , which was interrupted by external circumstances, dragged on for almost a week longer.

The clubs that had finished the previous season no worse than 15th were eligible to participate, as well as a direct promoted player from the second division , the two winners of the relegation round and three, thanks to the return of the license from FC Rouen and a subsequent league increase to 20 teams accepted "successor". Among the latter were two first division players who were actually relegated from a sporting point of view and fourth in the table in Division 2 , whereas the third division Olympique Avignon, who failed in relegation, was not considered. This supposed injustice met with approval from the French public; a major daily newspaper described Stade's return to the first division as "the return of the most beautiful exhibit to the Museum of French Football".

Thus, the following teams played for the championship title this season:

Season course

The season started with an opening game between the “Greens” and “Yellows” - AS Saint-Étienne versus FC Nantes - which symbolized the further course of the season: ASSE quickly led 2-0, but the final result was 2-3. There was only one more defeat in the first half of the season, but after 19 matchdays there was next to the defending champion with Marseille a competitor ex aequo at the top of the table, who particularly attracted attention with his "magical attacking status " Skoblar / Magnusson . That changed into the spring of 1971 - and regardless of the fact that Marseille's headstrong President Marcel Leclerc had “praised” the successful coach Zatelli as sports director and replaced him with Leduc in the winter .

At the beginning of May, Saint-Étienne was able to work out a three-point lead for the first time - and immediately afterwards Leclerc announced that he had signed two key Greens players for the coming season, namely goalkeeper Carnus and central defender Bosquier . While a continuous dispute broke out over the media with his colleague Roger Rocher , Saint-Étienne lost his next home game against Bordeaux, and Rocher then suspended the two "traitors" against the express wishes of his master coach Batteux . As a result, the defending champion suffered further, sometimes unexpected, point losses, while Marseille won all of their last five games, sat at the top of the table and finally put four points between themselves and the competition. OM's goalscorer Skoblar with 44 and Saint-Étiennes Keïta with 42 hits pulverized Philippe Gondet's previous league record (36 goals in the 1965/66 season ) and set a record unattained into the 21st century.

The "Bosquier-Carnus Affair" and the title race almost covered the fact that the season was also exciting in the table cellar. Up until the penultimate match day there was not a single relegated team before Sedan, Valenciennes and Strasbourg had to vacate their division 1 position in favor of three illustrious second division promoters. With OSC Lille and AS Monaco , two French ex-champions returned for the following season , and football fans from the state capital hoped for the newcomer Paris Saint-Germain to end their years of “first division abstinence” after the traditional clubs Racing Club and Stade Français were now only represented in the amateur sector.
