At the end of the night, shortly after 11 p.m. last night, the sanctions imposed on the two clubs after the Nice – OM incidents on August 22 finally fell. The disciplinary committee of the LFP decided to replay the match, while sanctioning OGC Nice with a firm penalty point. We must add to this three closed-door matches decided against the GYM and a suspension until June 30, 2022 of Marseille physical trainer Pablo Fernandez, Dimitri Payet (1 suspended match) and Alvaro Gonzalez (2 firm matches) also been sanctioned.
Pablo Longoria does not spare the League!
“The football authorities had the historic opportunity to set an example by making an impression, loose Pablo Longoria, president of Olympique de Marseille. These sanctions do not seem to take into account the deleterious climate that surrounded this meeting during which their safety was not guaranteed, which was nevertheless recognized during the hearings. I also wish to salute the referee of the meeting who has never changed his position concerning the endangering of the players on the field and his wish not to resume the match. Our players, who should be the actors of a football match, were the victims that evening. In this specific case, punishing them themselves with violence seems to me to be an easy solution. As president of OM, my desire has always been and will remain to preserve the safety of all players in football ”.
