We know that relations are not good between Canal + and the Professional Football League (LFP).

In a short scene devoted to football rights and the recent call for tenders launched by Vincent Labrune, we hear this conversation between two actors:
– “We did everything for French football, is that how we are thanked? »
– ” How much ? »
