The anthem of the Champions League has not resonated in Nice for an eternity. This Wednesday evening, in an Allianz Riviera which promises to be boiling, the OGC Nice plunges back into the great European thrill with an immense challenge: to face the Portuguese giant, the Benfica Lisbon. For the first official match of their season, the Aiglons dream of a feat to launch a new and beautiful continental story.
The time to show up for Nice
For a long time, Europe was a land of frustrations for the OGC Nice. Between disappointing campaigns and premature eliminations, the club has struggled to confirm its ambitions on the continental scene. But tonight, a new page opens. Carried by their audience and a fierce desire to grow, Franck Haise's men want to prove that they have changed their dimension. “There are top players in Benfica but we will not be frightened. We too will be there, with our strengths ”warned the Nice coach, determined to play his luck.
Moffi and Nice determined to have Benfica fall.
Benfica, a cador already in rhythm of competition
The task promises to be arduous, because opposite, Benfica is not an opponent in simple running -in. The LisBoets have already played, and won, an official match last week: the Portugal Super Cup facing their great rival, Sporting. More experienced and already in rhythm, the Portuguese, accustomed to European jousts, target a fifth consecutive qualification for the league phase of the Champions League and will leave nothing to chance.
An atmosphere of fire to believe in the feat
To try to overcome this Everest, the Aiglons will count on the fervor of nearly 27,000 supporters. Franck Haise knows, this match can be a real turning point: “By dint of taking the doors of Europe in the face, Nice will switch on the right side”. Pushed by an entire people, the Nice will have to deliver a perfect match to hope to travel to Lisbon next week with a dream still intact.
