Forty years to the day, after the mythical France-Germany in the semi-finals of the World Cup in Seville, Michel Platini offered himself a victory on another field. The former UEFA president was acquitted on Friday by the Federal Criminal Court of Bellinzona in Switzerland, like ex-Fifa boss Sepp Blatter. The three judges of the instance went against the requisitions of the prosecution who had requested in June a sentence of one year and eight months in prison in this case.
