Coupe de France 1990/91

The competition for the Coupe de France in the 1990/91 season was the 74th playout of the French football cup for men's teams. The number of participants continued to rise sharply; This year, 6,065 clubs registered, including some from overseas French possessions .

The defending champion was HSC Montpellier , which was eliminated in the round of 32 this season. This time, the trophy was won by the Association Sportive de Monaco , which made it into the finals for the fifth time and was the last to date ( 2008 ). Your last success was six years ago . Final opponent Olympique Marseille was already in its sixteenth final, of which it had won ten (the last time in 1989 ).

Lower-class teams presented themselves in this competition with different levels of assertiveness. Of the amateur teams, only two survived - the US Fécamp from the third and US Laïque Saint-Christophe Châteauroux from the fourth division - the first national round; Already in the sixteenth finals came the end for them. The teams from professional Division 2, on the other hand, made eight of the 16 round of 16, were three in the quarter-finals and two in the semifinals. Only then had Stade Rodez and FC Gueugnon admit defeat.

After the qualifying rounds organized by the regional subdivisions of the regional association FFF , the 20 top division teams also intervened in the competition from the round of the last 64 teams . The most important innovation this season was the abolition of games on a neutral pitch - with the exception of the final, which has traditionally been held in the greater Paris area since the Coupe de France was first held. The pairings and home rights were drawn freely for each round; only in the thirty-second finals was the lower-class amateur club allowed to automatically play its game in front of its own audience. If the score was tied after extra time, there was a penalty shoot-out.

Special occurrences

For Joël Quiniou this was the third direction of a final after 1986 and 1989 ; so often in the history of the competition only three more referees have been appointed - and a fourth, Michel Vautrot , even twice as often. Quiniou whistled a game that had a clear favorite with Marseille, after OM had just become French champions for the third time in a row in May and had also been in the final of the European Cup ten days earlier .

At AS Monaco, only goalkeeper Ettori was there from the 1985 cup winners - and defender Amoros, but this time in the ranks of the opponents of the Monegasque . From the team that had lost the final in 1989 , however, there were still seven players and coach Wenger in 1991. For Youri Djorkaeff it was the first win of the coupe, but he continued the family tradition after his father Jean had already been successful twice ( 1964 and 1969 ).
