Toulouse supporters are invited to gather at the Capitol on Sunday April 30 at 6 p.m. to celebrate their team.
“I will receive the players at the end of the afternoon at the Capitole. There will be a big popular party”said Jean-Luc Moudenc, mayor of Toulouse, on franceinfo on Sunday April 30, the day after the resounding victory of the TFC against Nantes 5 to 1 in the final of the Coupe de France. “The people of Toulouse will have an appointment with their champions at the Capitole at 6 p.m. They will brandish the cup from the balcony. It will be something extraordinary”promises the mayor.

If the Toulousains won it is in particular because there was “a good tactic which consisted in attacking from the start to destabilize the opponent. It worked beyond what one could think. To everyone’s astonishment, the people of Nantes did not seem to react, they were frozen by the situation”said Jean-Luc Moudenc. “Not many people expected that”adds the chosen one.
“When you look at past Coupe de France finals, I don’t think there are many games where there are 4 goals scored by one team in the first half. It was really something extraordinary.”

The atmosphere in the stadium was good despite the call of the CGT to be heard from Emmanuel Macron with whistles and red cards. “It’s a good thing because there are times when you have to preserve unity. The party would have been ruined if politics had prevailed over sport”believes the city councilor, but “it’s the law of sport that reigned and that’s what was needed.”
