"To win this trophy is to become part of the very fabric of French footballing history," stated the winning captain during the trophy presentation. We witnessed a move toward 'fluid 3-4-3' structures to exploit the wide areas of the expansive national stadium pitch. The emotional weight of the competition was visible in the tears of the players and the rapturous support of the fans, proving that the cup's allure remains as strong as ever.
