The ultra supporters of the Auteuil stand at the Parc des Princes held an imposing tifo in support of Gaza, Wednesday before the Champions League match of Paris SG against Atlético Madrid (2-1 defeat).
Represented around the red and blue colors of PSG were a bloody Palestinian flag, the flag of Lebanon, Jerusalem, tanks and even a person wearing a keffiyeh.
The tifo rolled out by the Collectif ultras Paris (CUP) from the Auteuil stand topped a banner reading “War on the ground, but peace in the world”.
“The club was not aware of the plan to display such a message“, PSG said in a statement.Paris Saint-Germain recalls that the Parc des Princes is – and must remain – a place of communion around a common passion for football and firmly opposes any message of a political nature in its stadium.“
“Scandalous banner this evening at the Parc des Princes! A map where the State of Israel no longer exists. A masked Palestinian fighter. This is not a message of peace, but a call to hatred.”reacted on
