During the 16th final of the Coupe de France against Lille (1-1, 3-4 tab) on Tuesday, supporters of Olympique de Marseille provoked violent clashes in their stand at the Vélodrome. But the Marseille club quickly calmed the groups involved thanks to the intervention of advisor Fabrizio Ravanelli.
On the field and in the stands, Olympique de Marseille had a bad evening on Tuesday. While Roberto De Zerbi's men lost to Lille in the Coupe de France, the South Winners and Commando Ultra 84 clashed violently at the bottom of the south turn at the Vélodrome. These scenes obviously did not please the management. The next day, President Pablo Longoria condemned the behavior of the ultras.
OM reacted quickly
« These are not images we like to see in a stadiumregretted the leader on RMC. And yes, I asked my colleagues to do an investigation to find out what happened. The theme of supporters is for me a very important subject, very sensitive, in the sense that I like everyone to be able to feel safe at the stadium. In the same way I like to see the fans moving outside, something we lack in this championship. But yes, it's normal that as a club, we have to analyze what happened. »
-Olympique de Marseille did not just inquire about these incidents. Late Friday afternoon, the Marseille club organized a meeting with the two groups of supporters involved. The reasons for these clashes have not been filtered. In any case, RMC tells us that this meeting, during which the management was notably represented by advisor Fabrizio Ravanelli, made it possible to calm tensions. It was better to ensure this before returning to the Vélodrome on Sunday evening during the Ligue 1 match against Strasbourg.
