Then the team began to Raymond Kopa but from what even a 0:5 defeat in Bordeaux in early May did not change anything, and not only qualified again for the Coupe Latine, but also for the inaugural European Champions Cup. Behind this duo occupied in the final table the surprise team of Lens, the strong Strasbourg to their Austrian striker Ernst Stojaspal and FC Sochaux the next rank, although already with proper spacing.

In the relegation zone, it was much closer to where, once again ruled the goal difference over who Roubaix - Tourcoing, 1947 nor French champion, had to accompany in the second division.
