Sunday’s Ligue 1 match between Marseille and Lyon was laid over after the callers’ machine was sharpened on its way to the ground, while Kylian Mbappe drew the wrath of Brest after scoring doubly in Paris Saint- Germain’s 3- 2 palm. Lyon trainer Fabio Grosso’s face was left crippled and his adjunct was also injured as the platoon machine was dashed with monuments en route to the Velodrome, shattering several windows. A club source said Grosso had also been passing dizzy spells.

A extremity unit was set up to decide the fate of the match, with Lyon making clear their disinclination for the game to go ahead given the circumstances.

“Grounded on Lyon’s wishes. the decision was taken not to start the match,” said adjudicator Francois Letexier, adding that reports” have been encouraged to the applicable authorities who’ll decide what action to take”.

Prime Video footage showed Grosso with a girth on his head as he came out of the colosseum’s medical room.

A print circulating on X (formerly Twitter) appeared to show Grosso lying on a stretcher with a cut above his left eye.

“These are fully inferior circumstances,” said Marseille club chairman Pablo Longoria.

“My first study is for Fabio Grosso, someone I admire and have known for a long time. I went to see him as soon as I arrived at the colosseum, I saw how he was.”

A alternate machine containing Lyon sympathizers was also attacked with monuments and the windows damaged, a original police source told AFP.

“These images are revolting. Seeing the sharpened machine like that, the bloody face of Fabio Grosso. These are inferior acts which go against the veritably values of football and sport,” French sports minister Amelie Oudea- Castera told AFP.

“I hope that the disquisition will be carried out snappily, that the perpetrators are set up and they’re oppressively penalized.”

Before on Sunday, Mbappe struck a late winner at Brest and also rankled the opposition and home sympathizers as he celebrated the thing, pressing his cutlet to his lips and waving to the crowd.

The France captain was reserved over the incident and said on social media his conduct were due to cuts aimed by the crowd at one of his teammates, latterly verified to AFP to be Achraf Hakimi.

Morocco transnational Hakimi was given primary charges of rape in March, allegations the player explosively denies.

“Well of course and I should have indeed sang with them when they disrespected my teammate,” Mbappe wrote in a sardonic response to a tweet critical of his geste.

“Some have really no way set bottom on a football field no matter the position.”

PSG midfielder Danilo Pereira said the treatment of Hakimi by home suckers had made Mbappe” angry”, but Brest trainer Eric Roy said he was” a bit surprised” by the response from the striker.

“It’s a enough healthy atmosphere. So of course you can always be mocked. When you have the match you’ve had, you’ve scored two pretensions, it’s a bit ridiculous. You should be over all that,” said Roy.

“It’s a shame that spoiled the end of the match.”

PSG saw off early season surprise package Brest thanks to a brace from Mbappe either side of half- time and a Warren Zaire- Emery rocket.

Luis Enrique’s side led 2- 0 before Steve Mounie pulled a thing back ahead partial- time.

Energised by the thing before half- time, Brest got back on terms thanks to a Jeremy Le Douaron title in the 52nd nanosecond, which appeared to be enough to insure the points would be participated unevenly.

Still, a lately revitalised Mbappe stepped up in the 88th nanosecond to claim all three points for PSG, converting after his penalty was saved.
