The reigning French champions are in all kinds of trouble when it comes to Ligue 1, but they somehow managed to produce their best game of the season at Stade de la Mosson in Coupe de la Ligue, winning 1-0 in the end.

in the upcoming matches if they want to achieve their targets this season.

“I am very proud of my boys today," Girard said.
Praising his players, the coach said that La Paillade showed what they are capable of and they deserved to win last night. Bordeaux are a tough team to play against and MHSC deserve credit for playing with great composure and commitment.
"They proved tonight that we have a good team, they were able to do something great against a Bordeaux team which is not easy to play, even though it was not the A-team.

The 58-year-old is upbeat about his side’s chances this season and believes that if La Paillade continue playing like they did against Bordeaux, they will certainly achieve their objectives.
"Tonight, we found the energy to do it and I am delighted with it."
