Benatia announces a major clean-up at OM

This Sunday, Olympique de Marseille won by a score of 4 goals to 0 this Sunday against AS Saint-Étienne in the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France. However, Marseille supporters were unable to witness this success due to a travel ban imposed for this competition.

This measure was taken following an order from the Ministry of the Interior, published on Friday December 20 in the Official Journal. The reason given: “A real and serious risk of clashes between supporters of the two clubs”. Enough to arouse the anger of Medhi Benatia, the OM sports advisor.

“We cannot accept it”

“I’m fed up with this situation, it’s not normal. It’s becoming systematic, but we can’t accept it,” reacted the Marseille leader for the regional daily Provence.

Despite the absence of their 12th man, Roberto De Zerbi’s men ensured their qualification for the next round. In the round of 16, they will face Lille, a draw which promises to be particularly difficult.
