During a meeting between Paris Saint-Germain and Stade de la Réunionois, the Collectif Ultras Parisien expressed its discontent through acerbes banners targeting several other French clubs. The event, which took place on April 5 at Parc des Princes and saw the PSG win the championship for the 13th time, was overshadowed by the display of these critical messages. The latter reflect a growing resentment towards the Parisian club and, more particularly, towards its president, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, accused of adversely affecting the integrity and balance of French football.
The banners deployed by the CUP targeted several teams, suggesting adverse consequences related to Parisian influence. Messages such as “Stripped to gogo during the Classicos, the fault of Nasser?”, “Soon the relegation for Sainté, the fault of Nasser?” and “The arms stretched to Lyon, the fault of Nasser?” were waved, accompanied by a support posted for President Al-Khelaïfi, highlighting a complexity in the feelings of Parisian supporters. This situation provoked a wave of reactions among other French ultrasonic groups.
In response to this provocation, the Bad Gones, during their home game, launched a direct verbal attack, questioning the financial motivations of Parisian supporters. The Green Angels, for their part, posted an ironic banner at their meeting against Brest, highlighting the provocative nature of the CUP’s messages. The future of this exchange of criticism between the various French ultras groups remains uncertain, suggesting a potential escalation of tensions.
