Looking back: 2016/17

April 2017 : A crazy month!

April 2017, a month filled with craziness. Used to conceding the first goal in a game, the Gym turned around all of the difficult scenarios it faced, walking in the path of an on-fire Eysseric.

Bordeaux, first, then Lille and finally, Nancy, in a match which allowed the Aiglons to definitively confirm their place on the podium, with 5 games to go. The performance is historic, the rest is a bonus. But what a bonus! In a fight with Monaco and 6 points ahead of the Aiglons, Paris travel to the Allianz for a dream encounter and a moment of glory. Mario Balotelli, Ricardo, Donis and all of a city broke down the Parisians and consequently, were trailing just 3 points behind them, with only 3 games to go.

The Niçois were aware that they have just witnessed a unique moment, which will remain engraved in their minds. Together. They even had to pinch themselves to stop them dreaming of pipping PSG at the last moment. The task seemed practically impossible. Practically....

Aiglon of the Month

His season was a success, his month of April, a marvel. Playmaker playing out on the left, Valentin Eysseric multiplied the sparks and embraced the start of Spring. Always involved in the game, the number 13 put in back-to-back performances gaining the plaudits at the same time. A classy strike against Bordeaux, a powerful shot at Toulouse, an exquisite ball into Balotelli at Lille, a delightful assist to set-up Mika Seri against Nancy: he scored (2 goals) and (2 assists). Elegance and efficiency.

The strong moment
