As he left the Stade Vélodrome on Sunday evening, OL owner John Textor was violently attacked by OM “supporters”.
It was an evening of chaos that did a lot of damage to French football. Sunday evening, on the sidelines of the Olympico between OM and OL, the Lyon players’ bus was stoned by Marseille “supporters” before its arrival at the Stade Vélodrome. A despicable attack which paid the price for the Rhone coach, Fabio Grosso, who injured his left eye, which caused the match to be postponed to a later date.
But the disaster did not stop there. Serious incidents also occurred a few hours after the announcement of the postponement of the match. According to information from Goal Football Club Lyon, the owner of Olympique Lyonnais, John Textor, was also taken to task. When he left the Marseille compound, the American businessman, accompanied by his wife, saw his car stoned by individuals.
Fortunately, John Textor and his companion were not injured and we were able to return to London this Monday. A new dramatic episode which also adds to the racist excesses observed in the parking of Lyon supporters, of whom around 600 made the trip to the Marseille city.
