Bayeux vs Marseille: Coupe de France Round of 16 Reaction

This is the magic of this Coupe de France. The only competition where a small club from Normandy can offer itself a dream match against a giant from Ligue 1 and Europe. This Sunday, the Bayeux club was entitled to this incredible moment by drawing Olympique de Marseille for the round of 16 of the Coupe de France. A gala meeting that the Regional 1 club, the 6th level of French football, dreamed of.

Gathered in a large room at the club, the players and all the supporters of the Bayeux club expressed their joy after the announcement of this draw. “It’s incredible, I couldn’t dream of anything better for the guys,” said President Luis Ferreira-Pavesi at the microphone of BeIN Sports. It’s a pleasure to bring together a great team like that. We did it guys! »

The poster will logically take place on the grounds of the Norman club, which eliminated Blois this Saturday in the round of 32 (2-1). In the previous rounds, they had claimed the scalps of Caen (3-2) and Yvetot AC (0-1). The adventure continues, this time with a big piece. If the Marseillais are logically big favorites for this match scheduled for the weekend of January 10, it is Bayeux which is preparing to experience an exceptional moment.
