On Sunday, during the Ligue 1 match won by Paris Saint-Germain against Paris FC (2–1), the atmosphere at the Parc des Princes sparked controversy. On two occasions, the stadium announcer stepped in to calm the crowd after insulting chants aimed at Marseille supporters, future opponents of PSG in the Trophée des Champions, who were labeled “rats.” In stoppage time, referee Benoît Bastien even went so far as to interrupt the match to warn the benches.
Luis Enrique’s irritation did not go unnoticed. The PSG coach did not appreciate seeing the Paris derby halted by the referee, a decision that clearly angered him. After the match, the Parisian manager wanted to clarify his position.
Anger Over Unequal Treatment
According to him, there was no question of criticizing his players. His dissatisfaction was aimed solely at what he considers special treatment reserved for PSG. “We are insulted everywhere, on every ground,” he explained, switching from French to Spanish to be more precise. “In Lyon, in Nantes, in Marseille, nothing happens. The matches go on. Here, at the Parc, the game is interrupted. I have the feeling that only the chants at the Parc des Princes are considered a problem.”
An openly expressed sense of frustration, and a message delivered without beating around the bush.
