The analysis may be colder today, but Dimitri Payet has not forgotten the famous evening when a bottle thrown by a supporter hit his face and interrupted the OL-OM match.
In an interview with
L'Equipe
, the Marseille player spoke at length about this incident which punctuated a particularly turbulent start to the season in the stands of Ligue 1.
“Not only was I hit by the bottle, more brutally than the first one [in Nice], but, mentally, it was even more difficult.
Because it's a second time, because I felt like I was guilty of having stopped the match and that we were trivializing something that was not trivial.

The only sincere apologies "came from Galtier"
The Marseille playmaker also does not forget how lonely he felt, with a few exceptions.
“I had support, unfortunately not enough for my taste.
The only sincere apologies I received came from coach Galtier, with whom I have a special relationship… No Nice player came to see me, nor the president.
In Lyon, the same.
On the contrary, they encouraged people to come and replay the match!
We tried to talk to our supporters so that it wouldn't happen again, especially before a Clasico, and I think the last one went very well, apart from the guy who entered the field.
(He smiles.) I prefer that to projectile throws.
