Former MHSC player, Rémy Cabella returned in 2022 before immediately leaving on bad terms. The Lille player, whistled at the Mosson stadium on Sunday, broke the silence.
It was a story within history, during this incredible match which saw Montpellier and Lille share the points on Sunday (2-2). Holder with LOSC, Rémy Cabella returned to the Mosson stadium, where he greatly contributed to the only French champion title in the club's history (2012) and where he returned in 2022, after already more than a hundred matches with the first team.
Cabella arrived from Russian club Krasnodar, and only played 5 matches between April and July 2022. According to The Teamthe attacking midfielder would have been in conflict with Téji Savanier, star of the MHSC and still captain of the club today. Having left for Lille straight away, Cabella caused a penalty at the start of the second half on Sunday, before exchanging words with Savanier away from the referee. The Lille man was even guilty of elbowing the Montpellier man in the throat. The two men each received a yellow card.

Cabella, 34, came off in the 69th minute under the whistles at the Mosson stadium. Before sitting on the bench, he was attacked by supporters in the stands and did not hold back from responding to them, forcing the 4th referee to calm the game down. Monday, the Lille player came out of his reserve in a post on Instagram. “Know that I would have liked the story to end the way it began… but not for some”Cabella wrote.

And taking care not to quote the Hérault president, Laurent Nicollin. The MHSC is the red lantern of Ligue 1 with four points behind Le Havre, the roadblock for maintenance.
