Very high-risk match this Tuesday evening at the Vélodrome between OM and Frankfurt, on behalf of the 2nd day of the Champions League. Up to 8,000 German supporters are expected in Marseille, a good half of whom would not have a ticket. The match between supporters started on Monday evening in the streets of Marseille. Five individuals were arrested, all from Marseille. Four of them held a weapon and were obviously well motivated to do battle with the German supporters. The fifth was arrested because he insulted the police.
No injuries
Also in the evening, Marseille and German supporters tried to clash in the city center. The prefecture ensures that the police have succeeded in separating the different groups of ultras. There would be no injuries or damage according to the authorities but the worst is to be feared for today. According to the prefecture, there could be up to 5,000 German supporters without tickets, including hundreds of Ultras more interested in the fight than in the meeting.
The risk being that they start the match in the streets of Marseille on the Old Port or near the stadium. For this reason, the sale of alcohol is prohibited in this sector from 2 p.m. The device is reinforced with more 500 police and CRS and 1,200 people planned by OM.
