The joy of the championship won prematurely by FC Barcelona lasted only a brief moment among the players, coaches and support staff. The celebrations in the inner circle were interrupted by a storm of fans from city rivals Espanyol. Ugly hunting scenes unfolded.

Apparently, some Espanyol fans couldn’t bear the triumph of their rivals in their own stadium and stormed the pitch.

The shock obviously passed as quickly as it came. Alba, Lewandowski and Co. let their emotions run wild in the catacombs.

FC Barcelona made it clear during the derby against Espanyol that they wanted to clinch their 27th championship today. A brace from Lewadowski and opening two goals from Alejandro Balde and Jules Koundé made the situation so clear before the end of the first 60 minutes that you can now watch the next master at his work.

With the Blaugrana’s joy of playing, one or the other goal could even fall here.

The day against homophobia has again turned into controversy this weekend. After Radamel Falcao or Idrissa Gueye in previous years, several players have refused to wear the jersey with the rainbow colored number. This concerns 3 Toulouse players, but also the Nantes striker Mostafa Mohamed. This climate makes Daniel Riolo, journalist and editor-in-chief of RMC Sport, fulminate.

« It doesn’t want to get into the heads of these blind people, these obscurantists, he says. They say: ‘there is no reason for us to defend this cause’. You are not defending a cause, you say: « I am against attacks on homos”. It is a message of peace, of tolerance. Homophobia is extremely present in the (Site notre bureau spécialisé), and it is getting worse and worse. The situation is very serious. « 

Mohamed’s « abandonment of post », Roy’s « dramatic » exit

« You have to know that it’s always a problem in the discussions, that they (the players, editor’s note) do it a little constrained and forced, he continues. There is not this understanding that it is not support (the cause) but it’s being against discrimination. It means that if a homo is attacked, you don’t condemn him. The question is: do you condemn the aggression or not? or harassment against a homosexual?’ If so, then do it in motion. »

Daniel Riolo fears wider drifts in the future. « It is not excluded that in the contracts in the future, there will be a clause on this or it is said that the player does not participate in the event, he illustrates. What did Mostafa Mohamed, it is an abandonment of position His team (Nantes who dislikes Toulouse, 0-0) plays the maintenance and him for a reading of his religion, he prefers not to play, rather than not to understand the debate and not have that negative attitude. »

Another reaction caused a lively controversy: that of Eric Roy, coach of Brest, for whom this day of the fight against homophobia distorts the championship due to the defection of many players. « He (Roy) couldn’t miss so much, chokes Daniel Riolo. I don’t know how it can be so dramatic. It’s a catastrophic outing. »

The duel between HSV and SSV Jahn Regensburg on Sunday shows the way for both teams. While HSV are still in 3rd place in the table and looking from top to bottom, opponents Regensburg in 17th are at risk of relegation. Nevertheless, new coach Joe Enochs is optimistic about his first game. The former VfL Osnabrück player demands a brave approach from his team. “But we are all convinced of ourselves. We want to shoot as often as possible in order to have a chance to score, » said Enochs.

Asked about the HSV system, sometimes criticized for being too easy to calculate, the 51-year-old had another opinion, according to ‘Bild’: « HSV play in a complicated way. They have a lot of position changes, the goalkeeper is extremely high The full-backs are very dangerous in the penalty area, there is a lot of speed on the flanks. In front of Glatzel, who is an exceptional striker in the second division. »

While several sources agree on Tuesday that Paris Saint-Germain striker Lionel Messi (35 years old, 28 matches and 15 goals in L1 this season) said « yes » Al-Hilal in view of a free arrival this summer (see the brief at 1:34 p.m.), the Argentinian’s pre, Jorge Messi, has dzingu these rumors.

« There is absolutely nothing with any club for next year. The decision will never be made until Lionel has finished the championship with PSG. Once the season is over, it will be time to analyze and see what what happens and then to make a decision There are always rumors and many use Lionel’s name to gain notoriety but there is only one truth and we can assure you that there is no agreement with no one. Neither verbal, nor sign, nor agreed, and there will be none until the end of the season », assured the close to the Pulga in a press release.

« It seems to me that there is a lack of respect for people who consciously and deliberately lie, without providing any proof of their statements, and who want to turn any malicious rumor into news. They don’t want a truth to come spoil their ‘exclusives’ », an appointment with Jorge Messi.

Iconic Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas will step down as club president this year. The greatest leader of French (Site notre bureau spécialisé) is about to bow out, after 36 years in office. Extraordinary longevity at a time when the lifespan of leaders tends to shrink.

Arrived at the head of OL in 1987, at the age of 36, the former boss of Cegid (a company he founded in 1983) changed the fate of the Rhone club, transforming a club which was then vegetating in the 2nd division. in unimaginable proportions, even placing it at the top of French (Site notre bureau spécialisé) at the start of the 21st century. It was the hegemony of the OL decade.

Then came the decade without a title. A time when the president of OL consolidated the strengths of his club while striving to stay in the spotlight. From television sets to social networks, Jean-Michel Aulas knew how to be omnipresent to capture attention, thanks to a few emblematic declarations. Exaggeration, bad faith, panache… A look back at the most striking outings of a visionary entrepreneur whom his rivals have always loved to hate.

With Monaco, it is tax exemption (Site notre bureau spécialisé) that is in the semi-finals.

Ten years later, in 2015, when AS Monaco returned to its glorious European destiny by obtaining the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Jean-Michel Aulas did not fail to congratulate the Principality club. But in 2004, it was time for detestation, or rather condemnation, of the tax advantages enjoyed by AS Monaco, in an interview with AFP.

We lost against Saint-Étienne for the first time in sixteen years. We play in the Champions League like the Stéphanois, they play it on the PlayStation.

September 25, 2010. The final whistle of the long time held at Gerland, sealing OL’s defeat (0-1) against Saint-Etienne in the derby. Moment chosen by Jean-Michel Aulas to appear in front of his supporters, microphone in hand.

I told Vincent Labrune that it was a puppet and that it will not last as long as he thinks in (Site notre bureau spécialisé).

President of OL since 1987, Jean-Michel Aulas opposed several OM presidents during his reign, including Vincent Labrune, with whom tensions were already high when, in September 2015, the shock of the The 6th day of Ligue 1 between the two teams is interrupted following the throwing of projectiles, in an eruptive context. Jean-Michel Aulas does not wish to resume the game, Vincent Labrune puts the incidents into perspective. The Lyon president explodes on the question of the match.

It’s worth it … What is the name of this Welshman from Real Madrid, again? I think Alexander is much better. But Alexander is priceless.

Customary of shocking phrases, the intrepid Jean-Michel Aulas, in an interview with Le Parisien in 2015, compared the value of Welsh international Gareth Bale – who had just offered La Decima to Real Madrid – to that of his attaché Alexandre Lacazette. Aulas considered that his player was worth at least as much money or even more than the price paid by Real Madrid to secure the services of Gareth Bale, which is more than 100 million euros. Lacazette will finally leave two years later for Arsenal, in 2017, against a check for 53 million euros.

Paris has the oil, we have the ideas

Jean-Michel Aulas’ numerous press conferences, whether organized for the presentation of a player or to draw up OL’s annual economic report, are all opportunities for the Lyon leader to send spades to the competition. And the PSG QSI version was entitled to a few …

Juventus seems like an unattainable Himalayas… But when you can compete with Toulouse, the best home team in the championship, overpowering, you might go and tease Juve.

This one does without the slightest comment. Biting irony, one of his trademarks. Your great Jean-Michel Aulas.

Pascal Dupraz, it’s the hospital that doesn’t give a damn about charity, minus the skill: Mr. Dupraz is not very nice. Pull yourself together, control yourself, you will have less discomfort and more results!

The current coach of Dijon, Pascal Dupraz, who officiated on the Toulouse bench in 2018 then explained how much he « hallucinated » of the effect produced, according to him, the president of OL on the referees. He should not have. The response to the interest on Twitter is scathing.

Nasser or Bertrand Desplats? Choosing between the plague and cholera is difficult.

The year 2018 had started very strong with this sensational declaration, on January 25. Remember, however, that it was a joke. A small spade certainly, but sent to his best enemy Nasser Al-Khelaïfi on the ton of the joke during a questionnaire to which he had been submitted on the set of the L’Equipe channel. Note that the president of OL ended up choosing « Nasser » rather than Desplats. The latter, as president of Guingamp, had defended PSG against the repeated attachés of Jean-Michel Aulas. In October 2016, the meme had opposed Jean-Michel Aulas by taking the head of the sling of « small clubs wishing to be more heard at the LFP.

Very disappointed with the scorched earth policy of Rudi Garcia who rewrote history, forgetting that he had the best squad. It’s a pity that Rudi didn’t know how to work with Juni who had nevertheless chosen and accompanied him. June has our full support. What bad excuses from Rudi!

The divorce was long overdue. Knowing that the ax was going to fall, Rudi Garcia had preceded his leaders by announcing his departure himself at the end of the last day of the championship in a press conference, May 23, 2021. It is an understatement to say that Jean-Michel Aulas did not like this untimely approach. Unsurprisingly, the reply was quick to fuse … on Twitter.
