Because there was no PSG jersey in sight last night in the Old Port of Marseille crowded with onlookers and tourists where only a few bars were broadcasting the final against Bayern.

Eight CRS coaches were stationed in the afternoon on the quays, mobile police units had taken place about ten meters from the gatherings of OM supporters.
