They say revenge is a dish best served cold.
Obviously, Nice supporters did not digest the defeat in the final of the Coupe de France against Nantes (1-0).
Four days later, during the first period of their staggered match against Saint-Étienne, which finally won 4-2, Nice not only made people talk about it for sporting reasons by getting back into the race for qualification in the Ligue des champions.
Thus, in the first period, while their team was trailing, the Riviera fans sang a very controversial song about Emiliano Sala, the former Nantes player, who died three years ago. from an air crash.
Just listen to the Chant.

"He's an Argentinian, who doesn't swim well, Emiliano underwater" sang Nice supporters, who had already sung similar songs on Saturday.
It remains to be seen what follow-up will be given to these deplorable manifestations, particularly at the level of professional bodies.
The leaders of OGC Nice were quick to react by publishing a press release to condemn these songs.
“OGC Nice condemns in the strongest terms the song concerning Emiliano Sala heard Wednesday evening at the Allianz Riviera, writes the club.
The club does not recognize its values or those of the entire red and black family in this unthinkable and abject provocation of a minority of its supporters.
OGC Nice sends its support to the family and loved ones of Emiliano Sala.
