LFP to Summon PSG Over Discriminatory Displays in 5–0 Classique Win

The league’s disciplinary panel plans to question the club next week after homophobic chants with provocative banners triggered an in-game stoppage.

Overview

  • PSG’s management is set to be called before the LFP disciplinary commission around February 18 following insulting banners, discriminatory chants and other incidents during the Marseille match.
  • The Classique ended 5-0 for PSG at the Parc des Princes, with the referee briefly halting play under league protocol due to persistent discriminatory chanting.
  • A DPD-branded tifo reading “Les Marseillais, c’est des livreurs” drew widespread criticism as a homophobic reference, while numerous smoke flares were used despite regulations.
  • DPD France said it regretted the misuse of its brand and is not filing a complaint for now, stating it will await the commission’s conclusions.
  • Minister Aurore Bergé condemned the insults as not belonging to folklore, and MP Danielle Simonnet indicated a referral to the Paris prosecutor alongside a proposal to tighten club responsibility.
