It was with a cockade clearly drawn under her right eye that journalist Ambre Godillon appeared on the air this Saturday on the sidelines of the championship match between SCO and PSG. The day before, the person concerned was in Marseille, at the Vélodrome, for the opening match of the 11e lifting of L1 between OM and AJA. A heartbreaking evening for her since an object thrown from the Jean-Bouin stand injured her face just before the break, while the Olympians suffered a real humiliation on the field (0-3 at the end of the first period).
“ Thank you for all your extremely kind messages. I don’t really know what to say really, other than that I’m fine and that I’m doing well. “, tweeted in the night the young woman, who despite herself has become the symbol of the violence which is plaguing French football – even the victim of the deaf and stultifying rivalry between OM and PSG, she who last season was still working for the channel of the capital club and has never hidden his soul as a supporter.

This Saturday in a press release, the main broadcaster of the French championship, DAZN, was moved by this attack, condemning “ firmly this intolerable and unworthy act » and promising to “ take all necessary measures, including legal measures, to guarantee the safety of its teams “. However, if the Marseille management immediately apologized for this despicable incident, they are also convinced that the sideline journalist was not targeted.
“ Olympique de Marseille provides its full support to Ambre Godillon and is doing everything possible to determine the origin and conditions of the incident. Even if he became convinced, upon seeing the images, that the journalist was probably not directly targeted and that she was accidentally hit by this projectile jet », Underlines RMC journalist Florent Germain. “ According to OM, which showed the images to the media, it was a projectile that fell from very high above Jean-Bouin, having bounced off the tunnel entrance tarpaulin before reaching the journalist. An involuntary act for the club, which apologized to Ambre Godillon and the broadcaster », Adds his L’Equipe counterpart Mathieu Grégoire, who suggests that OM could quickly bring new elements to this affair.
