The match between PSG and OL was interrupted for a few minutes on Sunday evening due to an insulting chant against the Lyonnais. But a priori, the sanction will not be excessive.
The summit meeting between Paris and Lyon was sportingly up to par, but obviously there was a lot of talk about the stopping of the match by Benoît Bastien, given an insulting chant, but not homophobic or racist, against the inhabitants of Lyon launched by the Virage Auteuil. Obviously, given the media impact of this Ligue 1 match, this interruption, and the intervention of Achraf Hakimi, captain of PSG, caused some noise. But, unless the situation turns around, the disciplinary committee of the Professional Football League should not sanction Paris Saint-Germain too heavily. Journalist for France Bleu Paris, Julien Froment has reassuring news for Parisian Ultras.
Our colleague specifies that the delegate of the Professional Football League, who had alerted the referee, of course mentioned this incident, but he wanted to be very clear about the nature of the singing heard at the Parc des Princes. “ A report was indeed produced by the League delegate, for “insulting songs” and not for “discriminatory songs”, which changes the situation in terms of sanctions. PSG risks a simple fine, no closed session at Auteuil a priori », specifies Julien Froment. This file will be studied this Wednesday during the meeting of the LFP disciplinary committee, but on the Paris Saint-Germain side, we are quite calm regarding the decision which will fall in the evening.
