Background
The match was Rennes' sixth final, of which they had won two (1965 and 1971). Their most recent final was in 2009, which they lost 2–1 to Guingamp. That was Guingamp's second appearance in the final after their unsuccessful attempt in 1997 when they lost on penalties to Nice.[1]
Hundreds of supporters of Guingamp (based in a small agricultural town in northern Brittany, the team is nicknamed 'The Farmers') travelled to Paris in a motorcade of tractors.[2]
