Kingsley Coman's goal against PSG was celebrated this Sunday in many parts of the world. In Germany, of course, and wherever there is a Bayern fan but also where a detractor of Paris Saint-Germain lives, which are not few. The main focus is located in Marseille, which became a small Bavaria for a few hours.
Fireworks, flares, chants and insults to the capital were launched from the southern French city, where the defeat of the Parisians was celebrated almost as much as an Olympique title.
With the coronavirus far from being eradicated, these celebrations caused crowds and, as can be seen in the videos, many of the participants did not wear a mask or respect the recommended social distance to avoid infections. In the daily report of the coronavirus issued by France, Health confirmed up to 4,897 cases, one of its maximum after the end of the confinement.
Payet joined from Twitter
Dimitri Payet, Marseille player, joined the anti-PSG celebration through social networks, recalling that the Velodrome club is still the only French team to have won a European Cup. “A story, a club, a city. We will always be the first,” Payet tweeted next to a video where the PSG shield is seen with a star on top until the player removes it and it is seen that it is superimposed on an OM shirt .
Since their victory on May 26, 1993 against Milan, precisely in Munich, Olympique de Marseille became the first French team to win the European Cup thanks to a goal from Basile Boli and with great figures in their ranks such as Barthez , Angloma, Desailly, Abedi Pelé or Rudi Voller.
The 'orejona' remains in his track record although not without controversy since its president, Bernard Tapie, arranged matches. The club ended up descending to the Second Division and was unable to defend its continental title.
