PSG denounces an “excessive measure”
For its part, PSG “deplores that the disciplinary committee has decided to apply an extraordinary sanction by pronouncing the closure of the Auteuil stand for two matches, one of which is suspended. The Club regrets that the committee has chosen an excessive and collective measure of a nature to undermine the work of dialogue and prevention undertaken by the Club with associative, institutional actors and supporters”indicated the Parisian club Thursday in a press release, specifying that it will not appeal and that it “intends to continue the work it is carrying out with those committed against discrimination to change mentalities”.
