Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille groups of fans chanted lines such as "Marseille are faggots" and "we will hang them by the balls, but sadly they don't have any".The chants – which did not appear targeted at individual players or fans – went on for close to 15 minutes, according to a reporter from the French news agency AFP."It is impossible to be deaf to such hateful and homophobic chants in our stands," said Sports Minister Amelie Oudea-Castera on X, formerly called Twitter.Il est impensable de rester sourd à de tels chants haineux et homophobes dans nos tribunes.
Peu importent la rivalité et l'enjeu, ils doivent être combattus sans répit par les supporters, les acteurs de la compétition, les instances et les pouvoirs publics.
