1 – 0. This Monday, June 19, 2023, the French team faced that of Greece at the Stade de France on the occasion of the qualifying match for Euro 2024. For the fourth consecutive time, the Blues imposed themselves on the field thanks to a decisive goal from Kylian Mbappé scored in the 55th minute. An action that TF1, which broadcast the match live, did not fail to film. And to celebrate the first goal of the team coached by Didier Deschamps, the channel hastened to display a close-up of the stands on the screens and more particularly of Nikos Aliagas. Of Franco-Greek origin, the host had to attend such an event. But while television wanted at all costs to see her expression after the masterstroke of number 10, the latter made a monumental mistake.
The reason ? The one who recently announced his departure from 50′ Inside was smoking. A sequence that aroused strong reactions. “Not good, the Nikos cigarette”, “Nikos Aliagas smokes? I would never have imagined”, “Where are the OCB slim leaves”, “Class”, could we read in particular on social networks.

For his part, Nikos Aliagas had proudly announced his arrival on his Twitter account by sharing a photo of the Stade de France before the start of the match. A publication that many fans commented on.
“Are you split in two?”, asked a surfer. And another to be indignant about the outcome of the meeting. “Dear Nikos, I am thinking of you in particular this evening and I hope that after this pitiful spectacle of an exceptional penalty (I had never seen such a joke live in my life) replayed while your Greek goalkeeper had managed a splendid save, not to mention a perfect game by the Greek team followed finally by a completely unjustified expulsion following a simple shoulder to shoulder out of the box, you will continue to love football and to love France”. One thing is certain, it doesn’t matter the result, Nikos left the Stadium with a smile on his face.
