“Marseillais, n**** your mother”: for these four words thrown with a little too much enthusiasm during a moment of communion with their ultras, following their big victory in the Classic last Sunday (4- 0), four PSG players had attracted a controversy which they, like the club, would have done well without.
Thank you to all our supporters for being present again yesterday in Clermont. Disappointed with the result but proud to still be able to count on you.
A week ago we all celebrated our great victory in the Classic at the Parc des Princes.

This Sunday, a week after the events and while the four offenders (Layvin Kurzawa, Ousmane Dembélé, Randal Kolo Muani and Achraf Hakimi) were summoned on October 5 to appear before the league’s disciplinary committee, they each published a identical message of apology on their social networks.
“A week ago we all celebrated together at the Parc des Princes our great victory in the Classic,” we read in this press release. After the match, we let ourselves be carried away by the euphoria. We are well aware of the impact of our actions and our words on the public, particularly the youngest who dream of watching a football match. »
“We sincerely regret the words we should not have said and would like to apologize. In the future, we will do everything to further respect our duty to set an example. We are still expecting many of you on Wednesday in Newcastle. Go Paris ! »
Filmed by Free Ligue 1 cameras chanting “Marseillais, n**** your mother”, the four players risk a sporting sanction, which could take the form, in the most severe case, of several matches of suspension.
