Coupe de France 1971/72

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The competition for the Coupe de France in the 1971/72 season was the 55th playout of the French football cup for men's teams. This year 1,496 clubs registered.

After the qualification rounds organized by the regional subdivisions of the regional association FFF had been completed , the 20 top division teams also intervened in the thirty-second finals . The pairings were drawn freely for each round; up to and including the sixteenth finals there was only one meeting in a neutral place. If an encounter ended in a draw after extra time, a replay was played; if it was still a draw at the end, a penalty shoot-out would decide the winner. From the last sixteen to the semi-finals, however, there was a return leg. If there was then a tie between the goals scored - whereby away goals did not count twice - the decision had to be brought about by penalty shoot-out.

Olympique Marseille won the trophy that year ; it was his eighth win of this trophy in his eleventh final. At the same time also French champion in 1972 , OM also won the first doublé in the club's history. His final opponent SEC Bastia was the first Corsican club since the cup was launched to make it that far. The most successful amateur club was the third division AS Poissy , which only failed in the second round. Defending champion Stade Rennes, on the other hand, was eliminated in the round of the last 32 teams.

Special occurrences

From this year on, the converted Parc des Princes replaced the Olympic Stadium as the annual venue for the cup final and remained that way - with the exception of the year without a final ( 1992 ) - until 1997 . The newly built Stade de France has hosted this season highlight since 1998 .

Marseille won this encounter thanks in particular to one of the best dribblers and crossers that day, the Swede Magnusson. Not much would have been missing, and OM would have been eliminated in the round of 16 - because coach Zatelli, feeling the clear first leg victory in the second leg in Montluçon, did without Kula, Magnusson, Couécou and Bonnel.
