The Ultras Paris Collective published a press release the day after PSG-Atlético, marked by a tarpaulin which caused controversy in the stands.
“The club is not behind this tifo”. Contacted by Le FigaroPSG remains on the line on Wednesday evening, dissociating itself from the tarpaulin which caused controversy before the match against Atlético Madrid (1-2), ensuring not to have been “aware” of the intentions of the Parisian Ultras. Version confirmed by said Ultras: “In no case did we need the help or the complacency of our club for the preparation 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..
Like the president of Crif, Yonathan Arfi, who spoke of a “scandalous banner”many have seen a “call to hatred, not a message of peace”. The CUP says the opposite: “In no case was this tifo intended to convey a message of hatred, quite the contrary. The message that accompanied it is explicit and is a call for peace between peoples.. As reported Le Figaro the general director of PSG, Victoriano Melero, will be invited to explain himself to Bruno Retailleau, the Minister of the Interior. The president of the FFF, Philippe Diallo, was also summoned.
