Coupe de France 1970/71

The competition for the Coupe de France in the 1970/71 season was the 54th playout of the French football cup for men's teams. This year 1,383 clubs registered.

The defending champion was AS Saint-Étienne , which was eliminated in the round of 16 this year. The winner of the trophy was the Stade Rennes Université Club . This was the Bretons' second cup victory after 1965 in their fourth participation in the finals. Final opponent Olympique Lyon was in a final for the fourth time; unlike the last time in 1967 , Olympique only finished the competition as the “second winner”. For lower-class teams, this season went as usual: with AAJ Blois, US Dunkerque and AS Monaco , the last three second divisions failed in the quarter-finals. The two best amateur teams, CA Mantes and Rapid Omnisports Menton, had already been eliminated one lap earlier, after defeating two professional clubs in each of the first rounds across the country.

After the qualification rounds organized by the regional associations of the FFF regional association , the 20 top division teams also intervened in the competition from the round of the last 64 teams . The pairings were drawn freely for each round; In the thirty-second and sixteenth finals, all encounters took place in a neutral place, the income was shared. If an encounter ended in a draw after extra time, only one replay was played - this was an innovation - which was decided by a penalty shoot-out after extra time. From the last sixteen up to and including the semi-finals, however, there was a return leg. If there was then a tie between the goals scored - away goals not counting twice - the second leg was extended. If there was still no winner, the decision had to be brought about in the penalty shootout.

Special occurrences

At Stade Rennes UC, only Cardiet, Cédolin and Trainer Prouff were from the 1965 cup winning team. Two former Olympique Lyon players played a key role in the success of their new club: Goalkeeper Aubour, who juggled the artichokes that Lyon's supporters threw at him next to his box during the final , had three penalties from Marseille players in the decisive penalty shoot-out in the semi-finals fended off, including that of Josip Skoblar . And striker Guy, only on loan to Rennes during the winter break, scored six goals in his seven cup appearances, including the goal of the day in the final, although the striker, who had previously fouled himself, kicked the ground more on his penalty than against the playing device.
