Usage Note
Revanche covers both literal revenge and a rematch in sport or games. The phrase en revanche is a common discourse marker meaning 'on the other hand' or 'however' — it has largely lost any aggressive connotation in this use. Prendre sa revanche means to get one's revenge.
Examples
"Il veut prendre sa revanche."
