Emmanuel Macron takes part in the Variétés Club de France charity match
Having already participated in 2021, Emmanuel Macron made his return to the field this Wednesday, April 24, for the Variétés Club de France charity match, to support the Yellow Pieces operation. He lined up in the white team, with teammates Robert Pirès and Laurent Blanc, among others.
The President of the Republic marked a penalty, with a flat foot ending in the small net. But the politician caused a reaction by making a big mistake on a player of the opposing team.
Emmanuel Macron booed after a tackle on a former international
During the match, Emmanuel Macron took a little bridge by El-Hadji Diouf, former Senegalese international. A gesture that he obviously did not appreciate since the next second, he made a violent tackle on his opponent, bringing the former star to the ground. The referee then immediately whistled the foul made by the tenant of the Élysée, who did not benefit from any preferential treatment on the pitch!
In the stands, spectators booed the president, who took the stage at the laugh. He went to hug his victim who also took it with a smile! The Yellow Pieces operation brought in a check for 57,500 euros.
