It was unfortunately to be feared.
This Tuesday evening's Champions League meeting between OM and Eintracht Frankfurt at the Vélodrome stadium was classified as maximum risk.
Rightly because the pre-match has already been peppered with incidents, even if no confrontation.
According to several videos posted on social networks, several German supporters gave Nazi salutes after entering the Marseille enclosure.
The Nazi salutes begin!

The Bouches-du-Rhône police headquarters has already reported these incidents to UEFA and has begun its work of identifying these pseudo-supporters from across the Rhine.
In addition, three Marseille supporters were arrested for throwing projectiles and three German supporters for possession of smoke bombs during the pat-downs, also reported the police headquarters.
