It’s a scandal that Lucas Chevalier would have done without. Sunday, a few hours before the start of the clash against Olympique Lyonnais, a screenshot of a like from the French goalkeeper on a pro-RN publication on Instagram has been making the rounds on the networks. The reactions, coming from Parisian supporters as well as fans of other clubs, were particularly strong and even pushed the main person concerned to speak out during the night.
“I was able to see what he could have said about me regarding the fact that I liked a post on Instagram with a political orientation, which I obviously do not share. I’m not trying to convince you, but it’s sad to know that by scrolling and leaving a like without realizing it on a post, you are informed that your image is soiled from top to bottom for an accidental action. It annoys me. The damage is done and things have been pronounced against me. You tried to make me look like a fascist, and it was not just me that you targeted, but my entire family”explained the guard, who would have been very touched by this affair.
PSG at Chevalier’s bedside
Monday during the day, the goalkeeper met with PSG to discuss this situation. And according to information from The Teamthe former LOSC goalkeeper can at least count on the support of his leaders. Indeed, Parisian decision-makers wanted to let Chevalier know that they support him and that they believe that his press release is sincere. There will therefore be no sanction or exclusion. However, both parties wish to quickly forget this episode and move on to something else, again according to information from the sports daily.
Even if it is not specified by the media, we also imagine that in the Chevalier clan as on the Paris side, we want to avoid any political exploitation of the affair. Still, this story is likely to remain in people’s minds for a little while, with this famous adage of social networks which forget nothing. Even more so if the performances of the goalkeeper, who still had things to be ashamed of against OL, do not improve considerably.
