This Saturday evening, Paris Saint-Germain won 2-1 against Olympique Lyonnais in a great final. However, just before the match, much more negative images were broadcast with clashes between Lyon and Paris supporters, particularly at the Fresnes toll gate which caused a lot of damage. A Paris Saint-Germain supporter group, the Collectif Ultras Paris published a press release following these events.
“Today, the day of the Coupe de France final, the members of the Ultras Paris Collective left the agreed starting point to reach the Pierre Mauroy stadium. To our great astonishment, a first, because a Parisian was attacked by a Lyon bus, a bus which should never have been on this road, because as the authorities predicted, it was exclusively reserved for Parisian supporters, each group of supporters had a predefined route in order to avoid any attempts to meet. Following this first attack on the Parisians, the latter went down to defend themselves, which led to the cowardly rout of the Lyonnais. Subsequently, other Parisian and Lyon buses crossed paths, and we had to defend ourselves again by putting the Lyonnais to flight again.we can read in this press release.
