If the coronation of PSG in the Champions League was marked by many incidents across France, the party was also spoiled at the Allianz Arena by the invasion of the lawn. A police cord finally managed to contain the supporters who entered the lawn while the players of the capital club celebrated the first Parisian coronation in C1.
UEFA will nevertheless open a procedure following this invasion of the field, which could be worth a sanction to the new king of Europe. But PSG is also exposed to a sanction due to another incident observed in the stands: the deployment of a banner “Stop Genocide in Gaza” by its supporters.
And PSG is likely to be sanctioned as much as a “Free Palestine” banner had been deployed in the Auteuil park of the Parc des Princes during the meeting between PSG and Atlético de Madrid (1-2). And if the Paris club had assured that he had not been informed of this action, the controversy had raged on the days following the meeting.
Strong reactions in Israel
The Minister of the Interior, Bruno Retailleau, had asked for explanations and enjoined the clubs to “Ensure that politics does not come and damage sport”. “This tifo had no place in this stage, and such messages are also prohibited by the regulations of the League and UEFA”, had he added.
“All member associations and all clubs are responsible for the incorrect driving cases of their supporters and are liable to disciplinary measures and guidelines even if they can prove that they have not committed any form of negligence in the organization of the match (…) for transmission by gesture, speech, object or by any other means of any provocative message unsuitable for a sporting event, in particular of any provocative, ideological or insulting or insulting message.” provides for this purpose article 16 of the disciplinary regulation.
If UEFA had not finally raised this fall, it could be otherwise after the deployment of such a message in the final on Saturday, even if the cameras took care not to film the banner deployed by Parisian supporters.
In any case, the banner has not gone unnoticed in Israel.
“If France is so determined to see a Palestinian state, I have a suggestion for them-give them a piece of the French Riviera”for this purpose entrusted Mike Huckabee, the American ambassador to Israel according to i24 ..
