The attack on the OL bus on Sunday evening in Marseille is unfortunately not the first serious incident to have occurred around an OM match.
Responsible but not guilty? OM is not directly at fault for the actions of its supporters outside the Vélodrome stadium but the Marseille club must ensure that they behave correctly.
“ It’s easy to say that the club is not responsible for what happens outside the stadium. He is not legally responsible, yes, but we have to work with everyone”said Pablo Longoria a year ago, quoted this Tuesday in The Team.
Longoria: “ One day, we’re going to have a real problem in front of the stadium.”
The president of OM was concerned in November 2022 about the configuration around the Boulevard Michelet enclosure: “ It is not normal for the roads to be open to everyone. One day we’re going to have a real problem in front of the stadium“.
The serious problem occurred on Sunday evening two hours before the OM-OL kick-off but serious incidents have marked the past in the Marseille city.
The rocking of opponents’ buses was trivialized until what happened to the Lyonnais on Sunday with, we hope, a real awareness of all the players.

The Team recalls several recent excesses against the coaches, from PSG (2011, 2015, 2016), Lazio (2018) and OL (2019).
Without forgetting the clashes between supporters of the two camps, notably in European cups, or the attacks by the Commanderie to dismiss Jacques-Henri Eyraud.
