As expected, the dramatic events surrounding last week's Champions League final have rekindled fears over how the French will host the 2024 Olympics, with the Stade de France also serving as the main stadium for the events.
If in recent years they have feared games from Corona or Brazil's ability to host games due to security issues, it was in the heart of Europe that a complete loss of control was revealed this week, in one of the biggest sporting events in the world.
As you may recall, alongside the chaos and loss of control of the French police before and after the game between Liverpool and Real Madrid, thousands of fans were attacked by immigrant gangs outside the stadium in the infamous San Denis area, where the police are not really able to bring order.

The thought of fans climbing fences, cops mercilessly beating English and Spanish fans and the sexual harassment that football fans went all the way to the metro, also diverts sleep from Olympic Games organizing committee chairman Tony Astanga: “We have a lot of experts in this country who need to join and be part of the Games "The Olympics, in view of what happened in the final game on Saturday. They must be part of our system."
Regarding security issues, Astanga said: "A year ago we presented the security protocol we need at the Olympics, after two years of work. At the Olympics the security issue will be after five years of learning and I'm sure we will be ready for that."
Even before the French are scheduled to host the Rugby World Cup next year and if the sights we saw last Saturday return, the whole world will begin to express concern about the French's ability to host safe Olympics, regardless of whether or not Corona returns.
This is without addressing for a moment the threats of terrorism and other common dangers in hosting Olympic Games.
In France watched the hundreds of fans enter without tickets to the games and intend to activate cyber units that will monitor the sale of tickets and spectators who used them, about 20,000 private security personnel have already been recruited for the Olympics and probably after the final events in which the French were attacked by the media Is supposed to change things.
However it is clear that the social problems in France are deep and whoever asked himself how we got to the point where Marie Le Pen was close to winning the last election, then the descriptions that came from England and Spain, explain well what happened.

So as mentioned, elections were recently held in France and a new sports minister was elected, Emily Cuada Castra who visited the Olympic headquarters for the first time this week and also expressed concern about what happened in the Champions League final: " .
French police have said they are continuing to collect evidence and investigate what happened last Saturday, and preliminary conclusions will be submitted soon.
"What we saw last Saturday proved that France has disengaged from Europe," Real Madrid fans wrote on social media.
The question is, will the French a sports empire for all intents and purposes, be able to fix what has been destroying their society in the last decade.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
