By deploying a tifo of support for Palestine yesterday, during the Champions League meeting between PSG and Atlético de Madrid at the Parc des Princes (1-2), the Collectif Ultras Paris certainly did not expect such repercussions. This morning, the Minister of the Interior, Bruno Retailleau, reframed the capital club by affirming that this type of message had no place in football stadiums, while we learned this afternoon that the general director of PSG, Victoriano Melero, as well as the president of the FFF, Philippe Diallo, were summoned to the Ministry of the Interior in the coming days.
Mute until now, the CUP reacted via a press release posted early in the evening on its social networks to try to put out the fire, indicating that this initiative had in no way the intention of spreading a message of hatred: “Following the various controversies concerning the entertainment in the stands last night, some clarifications from us are necessary: In no case was this tifo intended to convey a message of hatred, quite the contrary, the message which ‘accompanied is explicit and is a call for peace between peoples. In no case did we need the help or the complacency of our club for the creation or deployment. It was carried out entirely in a gymnasium in the Paris suburbs. This sensitive subject pushed us to make our arrangements in advance so as not to harm our club.”
