“We were unworthy of this stadium, of our supporters, and that's it… We're starting off in a very bad way this year 2025. I'm not going to hide behind refereeing, pseudo penalties… There are no penalties, red cards, we finish with zero points this evening. Bravo to the opponent who got what he came for. But what I want to look at is us, and we weren't up to par at all. I told the players what I thought. We have five months ahead of us to correct this. Whether in attitudes, in quality, in approach, we cannot hope for anything with this way of doing things.”

After this setback, the first at home of the season, Bordeaux is 5th in its N2 group, 11 lengths behind leader Saint-Malo (and still one match in hand)
