The year 1979 is etched in the memories of Racing Club de Strasbourg Alsace supporters as a dream season. Under the guidance of coach Robert Herbin, the Coureurs combined talent, determination, and team spirit to achieve the coveted treble.

The season kicked off with a solid squad that had already shown promise in previous years. Iconic players like forward Michel Platini, who would go on to become one of the legends of French football, contributed significantly to this success. His incredible vision and ability to score decisive goals were key assets for the team.

The league matches were marked by exceptional performances, with Strasbourg battling against tough opponents throughout the season. The team finished atop the standings, proving its consistency and strength in play. However, what truly distinguished this season was how the Coureurs managed the pressure of knockout matches in the Coupe de France and the Coupe de la Ligue.

In May, Strasbourg lifted the Coupe de France in a memorable match at the Stade de France, defeating formidable rivals with unwavering determination. The victory was celebrated not only by the players and staff but also by thousands of fans who had followed the club on this incredible journey. The same month, the Coupe de la Ligue also found its way into the arms of the Coureurs, adding even more glory to an already legendary season.

This treble not only dazzled the fans but also set a benchmark for the years to come. Racing Club de Strasbourg Alsace became a model for other clubs, proving that with hard work and good team cohesion, anything is possible. The 1979 season thus redefined the French football landscape and inspired generations of supporters to dream bigger.

Today, the club continues to carry the legacy of this golden era, seeking to replicate the incredible feat of 1979. The fans, ever loyal, hope to relive those moments of euphoria and triumph, and at every match at the Meinau, they fondly remember the exploits of their heroes of yesteryear. The Grand Slam of 1979 remains a cornerstone of Racing's history, a symbol of what it means to be a Coureur.
