Final the Champions Cup, D-2. And the pressure is mounting among supporters of both teams. This Thursday, May 20, 2021, many of them greeted their players who took the plane to join London, place of the final. Of warm atmospheres, and which do good while the supporters could not make the trip because of the sanitary restrictions.
Stade Toulousain: Yannick Youyoutte on fire!
In Toulouse, the excitement escalated with supporters, especially when the bus, with its convoy, left the stadium Ernest-Wallon. Horns and cries echoed, and the players selected for the final even walked long meters together to make the most of this atmosphere and greet their fans one last time.
Absent like Lucas Tauzin and Sofiane Guitoune have raised the decibels thanks to their two wheels, while Yannick Youyoutte, shirtless and standing in Yoann Huget’s car, worked as a driver to make the supporters shout “Toulousain, Toulousain”.

La Rochelle took off at 5 p.m.
On the side of La Rochelle, the supporters were not left out and at least 200 were present to accompany the players and greet them warmly before boarding the plane. Smoke bombs, scarves, yellow and black flags… Very nice atmosphere for the Rochelais.
The Charente contingent took off around 5 p.m. to quickly reach London.
