With the Stade de Marseille hosting the 2020 Heineken Champions Cup final, we look back at the two European Cup semi-finals held at the stadium. 2014: RC Toulon 24 Munster Rugby 16 Toulon captain Jonny Wilkinson kicked 21 points as the defending champions inched closer to a second successive European Cup after victory over a battling Munster side. Four penalties and a drop-goal from the former England international, as well as a long-range three-pointer from full-back Delon Armitage, gave the French side a nine-point lead at the interval. The Irish province briefly got to within two points of Toulon after a try from wing Simon Zebo was converted by fly-half Ian Keatley, but Toulon sealed victory and a spot in the final with two further penalties from Wilkinson. Toulon went on to clinch a second consecutive European Cup with a comfortable 23-6 victory over Saracens at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. https://twitter.com/ChampionsCup/status/1130414265108762624 2015: RC Toulon 25 Leinster Rugby 20 (AET) In a Champions Cup blockbuster, Toulon needed extra time to squeeze past Leinster and reach a third European Cup final thanks to a superb interception try from wing Bryan Habana. The two sides traded eight penalties in normal time, with four successful three-pointers from Toulon full-back Leigh Halfpenny being cancelled out by four from Leinster centre Ian Madigan to leave the score deadlocked at 12-12 after 80 minutes. Halfpenny then put Toulon back in front with his fifth penalty and they grabbed the decisive try soon afterwards as Habana intercepted a cross-field pass from Madigan on the halfway line and sprinted clear to give the French side an unassailable lead. Halfpenny converted the try and added a penalty, but Leinster hit back via Madigan’s fifth penalty and a try from Leinster flanker Sean O’Brien, who dotted down after a ferocious driving maul. However, Madigan missed the conversion and Toulon were able to pin their opponents back and hold on for a famous victory. The French side were again victorious in the showpiece final, defeating ASM Clermont Auvergne 24-18 at Twickenham.
