Bernard Casoni, Jocelyn Anglooma, Basile Boli, Eric Di Méco, Pascal Olmeta or Marcel Desailly… The 1993 European Champions were present in number for the 125 years of Olympique de Marseille. Fabien Barthez shone by his absence. And it is also unlikely that the former goalkeeper of the Blues will be present in the Legends match soon organized by FC Nantes, where the 1998 world champion left a very bad memory.
Fabien Barthez, however, does not flee gala's matches. He was thus with the variety Club de France last spring for the 100th anniversary of Lescure and on June 21, he was announced at the Albert-Domec stadium in Carcassonne to participate in the 80th anniversary of the Aude of Football.
For the occasion, a match will be held between the team of legends of former French internationals and the team of former pros in the region and Fabien Barthez could evolve in the two teams. Because if he is obviously a legend of the French team, many seeing in him the greatest goalkeeper in the history of the Blues, he is also a former pro in the region.
Fabien Barthez well surrounded
Born in Lavelanet, in Ariège, the former international did all his classes there before joining the TFC at the age of 15 and scoured the land of the region, including Aude. Several other big names have already been announced for this event match. Robert Pirès, Sydney Govou or Sabri Lamouchi will also be there. And it will be the same with Bengous, the famous Marseille influencer.
