Marseille and Lensois supporters paid tribute to each other at the end of the last meeting of the 8th day of L1.


It is a rare image, of the one who makes people love football.

A scene of communion between supporters at a time when Ligue 1 is going through complicated hours in terms of violence in the stands, and this for several weeks.

In an incandescent Velodrome, Marseillais and Lensois delivered a spectacular shock at the end of which OM came out defeated.

But the Olympians and Lensois supporters paid tribute to the outcome of the meeting, despite the loss of Marseille's invincibility in the league, due to their 2-3 defeat.

Marseille supporters stayed for long minutes after the final whistle in the bends of the Marseille stadium. This expectation has made it possible to see unprecedented images at this level for a very long time. The Lensois and Marseille supporters paid each other tribute in an intense communion. The "Aux Armes", characteristic song of OM fans, was sung simultaneously by the two groups, who also paid tribute to Clément, a young Olympian aficionado, who died in a road accident on his return from Angers in the week preceding this meeting.

Magnificent images in the stands of the Vélodrome between Lensois and Marseille supporters singing together after the match.

And once again pay homage to Clément.



The image of football that we love.

As for the match, the Phocéens, led 2-0 after less than half an hour, recovered by the grace of a double from Dimitri Payet, on a free kick he himself obtained ( 33rd), then a penalty (45th + 3) caused by Bemba Dieng.

But Wesley Saïd (71st) took the Lensoise blow.

One week away from a high-risk trip to Lille, Jorge Sampaoli's team was stolen second place by the Sang et Or. OM nevertheless had additional ammunition with the match to be replayed on October 27 against Nice, fourth in the championship.
