2008 Trophée des Champions
Encyclopedia
The 2008 Trophée des Champions Final was a football match that saw the 2007-08 Ligue 1
and Coupe de France
champions Olympique Lyonnais
face off against FC Girondins de Bordeaux
. Since Lyon won both the league and the Coupe de France, they faced the club that finished in second place in Ligue 1 this past season, which was Bordeaux. It was quite controversial however, given that, in 1996, second-ranked team Paris Saint-Germain FC
was not given the opportunity to face Division 1 season 1995-96
and Coupe de France
champions AJ Auxerre
, which was not even declared the winner eventually. The match was held on August 2, 2008 at the Stade Chaban-Delmas
in Bordeaux
. After 90 minutes of no goals, Bordeaux ended Lyon's impressive streak of six straight Trophée des Champions
titles by defeating them 5-4 on penalties.
