It was after a Champions League match against Newcastle last season that Bradley Barcola was given the nickname “Bambi” by Daniel Riolo. Since then, the sports journalist has taken great pleasure in
nickname the Paris Saint-Germain striker that way.
Those days are now over. “It’s officially the end of the Bambi nicknameannounced the sidekick of Gilbert Brisbois on the airwaves of RMC, regretting that his sense of derision is sometimes misunderstood. As long as we don’t officially complain about it and, from the moment I was told that it hurts and we don’t understand that it’s a joke…”.
Barcola, his entourage did not validate the nickname “Bambi”
And Géraldine Maillet’s companion continued:
“I don’t want to hurt people. Obviously, those around him take it very badly. I was officially informed of this, so we’re going to stop. If people suffer from a nickname, so be it. But above all, they are realizing that
Désiré Doué is above him. And that, for once, is true.”
This season, the former Lyonnais has not scored a single goal in the Champions League. In the league, he was at the top of the scorers’ rankings for several weeks. From now on, it is Lille’s Jonathan David who occupies this place with eleven achievements, one more than number 29 from Ile-de-France.
