The former Manchester United defender and protégé of Ferguson led his team , known as Bordeaux into quarter final stage of the Champions League. Doing this they see off Olympics as they had with them, in the match Juventus and Bayern Munich in the group stage of the Champions League. Not a relief still now for the team. It was the first objective for the team to get out of the group stage. They are with the titans now and the competition for the first place is intense in the Champions League.  Immense pressure on their shoulders is now shed off and the underdog team is now very much secured in the Champions League. But none of the sides would be ready to accept the prospect of getting paired with the team of Blanc. The rest of Europe is not that easy to be friends with. Bordeaux has in the team of Champions League the most coveted players of Europe with them like Yoann Gourcuff and Marouane Chamakh.

However, Marouane Chamakh is ready to sign the contract to play for Arsenal and the other team mates will surely be getting offers from other reputed teams also. Blanc’s first season as the manager of the team brought a second place finish behind Lyon. All thanks goes to an eleven game winning streak. This happened for the first time in a long seven years that the France’s perennial champions lost. Wait and keep a keen eye over the matches and don’t dare to miss out on the action on the field and the war is still on of the Champions League.
