This Monday, the League gave some details to the Parisian: “this song, very brief which would have been sung only once at the time, had not been the subject of any report in the match report provided by the delegate. In all likelihood, neither the delegate nor the referee heard the chant in question. »
The LFP recalls relying on the protocol planned by Fifa in three stages: an announcement made in the stadium to demand an end to discriminatory chants, a temporary stoppage of the match, then the definitive stoppage. Namely that the decision is up to the referee to stop the match.
