Real Madrid
Reims' football club players parade in a double decker bus, on May 19, 2012 in Reims, northeastern France, to celebrate with supporters after Reims' club earned promotion to France's Ligue 1 championship on the eve. Reims have not appeared in L1 for 33 years and are one of French football's sleeping giants, having won six Ligue 1 titles and been beaten by Real Madrid in the first ever European Cup final in Paris in 1956, and also lost to Madrid in the 1959 final of the competition.
