“War on the ground but peace in the world“. Yesterday evening before the Champions League meeting between PSG and Atlético de Madrid in C1 (1-2), the Ultras Paris Collective wanted to send a message through an impressive tifo. “Free Palestine” was written on this huge tarpaulin covering the entire Auteuil stand, a way of paying tribute to the victims of the conflict in the Middle East for several months. However, at the end of the match, PSG dissociated itself from this initiative, ensuring that it had not been made aware of this “display project”, and aware that it was exposing itself to sanctions. As a reminder, UEFA condemns “any other form of political action inside or in the immediate vicinity of the stadium is strictly prohibited before, during and after the match”as stipulated in its regulations.
This Thursday, the Minister of the Interior, Bruno Retailleau, also refocused the capital club on its social networks, then again on the antennas of South Radio : “I ask PSG to explain themselves and the clubs to ensure that politics does not damage sport, which must always remain a catalyst for unity. This tifo had no place in this stadium, and such messages are also prohibited by the regulations of the League and UEFA. If this were to repeat itself, we will have to consider banning tifos for clubs which do not enforce the rules.posted the Beauvau resident on his X account. He raised his voice again in the morning on South Radio : “If necessary there will be sanctions, I am not stopping myself from doing anything. I ask PSG for explanations. This is unacceptable (…) I understand that we want peace. Of course, I’d like it to stop, but the hostages… who’s talking about the hostages? I demand accountability, solemnly. »
