She called for "the responsibility" of players, coaches, clubs and authorities.

On Sunday, the Ultras Paris Collective (CUP), the main group of PSG fans, posted on Twitter in the morning two photos of banners deemed sexist and homophobic, deployed in front of the Parc des Princes and on the Bir-Hakeim bridge, in front of Eiffel Tower.

On one, we could read "PSG-OM: 9 years of sodomy in an organized gang".

The other attacked Marseille player Dimitri Payet and his wife.

"I was completely shocked to see that on the outside. I always said that in a stadium there could not be things that are not acceptable on the outside and there, today, it is 'It is outside the stadium that the supporters unfurl the banners. I find it shameful, I am outraged by this kind of behavior, "said Roxana Maracineanu, who herself put the subject back on the table in March 2019, already after a "clasico" PSG-OM where she had attacked songs assimilating the Marseillais to "rats", "fags" or "motherfuckers".
