History, results and tables

It was the two- point rule; case of a tie, the goal difference was the decisive factor for the placement.

Nantes before Bordeaux and Valenciennes was the same inlet as 1964/65, but there were significant differences from the previous season. After all this time Nantes presented almost a start - to-finish victory, and already with his 2-1 victory at the Girondins in September, the title race was as good as decided for the media. In fact, the Canaris extended their lead even further out, stayed at home - with only two negative points at the Stade Marcel- Saupin - undefeated and lost only four games at all. The two rivals showed the identical number of scored as trapped doors, but Nantes had so seven points more brought as the Girondins, and the game concepts were different hardly be: while Bordeaux ' Catalan coach Artigas put on a the Catenaccio related, defensive system - referred to in France as vividly Concrete -, left his colleague Arribas Basque players a lot of freedom in a basically very attack-minded concept. This season there was only one fly in the ointment for Nantes: as the Canaris achieved their sixth goal in Cannes on the final day, Éon celebrated this with a leap of joy - and tore it from the Achilles tendon, which the goalkeeper cost to participate in the World Cup finals.

At the bottom of Division 1 of the two previous climbers ( Red Star, Cannes) were early established as a direct relegated; both were left without a single away win. Very much scarcer was deciding who would in the subsequent Barrages still have to fight to avoid relegation: Stade Français and Lyon kept only the wafer-thin goal difference before. However, then also Nîmes and Lille prevailed against their second division opponents. For the following season returned, much to the delight of many fans, the club treasurer and the specialist media, with Stade Reims and Olympique Marseille two " Large French football " in the top flight back.
