These are scenes that should be repeated everywhere in Europe, with the multiplication of closed-door measures linked to the coronavirus epidemic. While their players were fighting in an empty stadium against Atalanta Bergamo to snatch a qualification in the quarter-final of the Champions League, the ultras of FC Valence gathered around the enclosure to be heard by their own. This did not prevent their team from getting out after a 4-3 defeat at the end of a crazy match.

Result, surreal images of a huge enclosure abandoned by its supporters but whose songs resounded as best they could. This should be the case Wednesday evening near the Parc des Princes on the occasion of the 8th final C1 return between PSG and Dortmund, where hundreds of CUP ultras have planned to meet - with the authorization of the prefecture Paris police station - to liven up a very strange evening in an exceptionally quiet Parc des Princes.
