On the occasion of the Coupe de France match between Paris FC and Lyon, Friday, December 17, incidents between supporters punctuated this evening of football and forced the officials to stop the match. An event that is not unprecedented in France since the start of the season.

Friday evening, the Charléty stadium in Paris was to be the scene of a football spectacle, but it was ultimately the scene of clashes. After jets of smoke, fights between supporters and an invasion of the field, the match is definitively stopped. Incidents which multiply. Indeed, it is the eighth time that this kind of incident has occurred in a French stadium since the start of the season.

For the moment, the clubs are struggling to find solutions and it is the players who are suffering the consequences. In a column published in Le Monde, the Marseille player, Dimitri Payet, victim of a bottle thrown by a Lyon supporter last month, demanded that the government, clubs and football authorities take their responsibilities. Thursday, following an interministerial meeting, several strong measures were announced as directly sanctioning troublemakers rather than clubs.
