Last night the French media mainly dealt with the qualification of PSG to the round of 16 of the Champions League, after the victory over Maccabi Haifa.
At the same time, the reporters in Paris did not overlook the Israeli team and its fans either.
According to the official data, no less than 6,580 Maccabi Haifa fans were present in the stadium, with the majority of them sitting in the stands of the late team.
In the French media, the leaders of the French champions were killed for allowing Maccabi Haifa fans to sit in the stands of PSG fans.
The headlines on the websites screamed: "This is absurd. What can be done with the Maccabi Haifa crowd? They were not disciplined and did not listen to the warnings."
The French club tried to avoid the issue and coach Christophe Galtier said: "I prefer to talk about our crowd who cheered well. I am referring to our club."

"PSG wants to be the best in Europe"
The French commentators, some of whom are great former players, conveyed a clear message about the victory against Maccabi Haifa, but also for the rest.
"PSG wants to be the best in Europe and take the cup," said the former midfielder of the French national team, Emmanuel Petty, who is now a commentator on French television, "for that to happen, it needs Messi, Neymar and Mbappe in their current form even after the World Cup, but The defense is in much better shape. Kimpamba's return will help them."
Another former player, Johan Mikko, explained in Lakip's summary of the game: "Maccabi Haifa did what they could, but you can't compare them to Paris. No one wants Bayern Munich or Manchester City in the round of 16, so we have to complete the The mission in Turin".
In any case, Maccabi Haifa can draw encouragement from the fact that in France they still emphasize the need to beat Juventus in the final round and PSG also do not intend to rest until the goal is achieved.
If this happens, only a point against Benfica will be enough for the Greens to finish in third place at home, but there is still a long way to get there.
