Supporters who have not digested the defeat against Nantes in the final of the Coupe de France last weekend and who have mocked the song of the people of Nantes in tribute to Emiliano Salathe Argentinian player of FC Nantes who died at the age of 28 in a plane crash in the English Channel in 2019.

Human bullshit has no limit – the coach of Nantes
“Human bullshit has no limit, I’m outraged, these guys have nothing to do in a stadium“, advances for his part the Nantes coach Antoine Kombouaré. All demand sanctions against these supporters.
Part of the Nice public also launched insults to Stéphanie Frappart, the referee of the Coupe de France final, guilty in their eyes of having awarded a contested penalty to the Nantes Canaries.
