Ligue 1 – Song on the death of Emiliano Sala: La Populaire Sud Nice invokes the “second degree” to justify itself – Eurosport FR

The Nice supporters had found themselves at the heart of the attention at the very start of the season, after the invasion of the field which took place during the reception of Marseille. They are again at the heart of the discussions two days before the end of the exercise. And once again, it’s not really for good reasons. Wednesday evening, in the 9th minute of the match against Saint-Étienne (4-2), ultras from the Populaire Sud Nice took up an inappropriate, even downright shocking song aimed at making fun of the death of Emiliano Sala.

If they offer their condolences to the family of Emiliano Sala, the ultras also take advantage of this text to send a spade to their coach, Christophe Galtier, who is particularly severe towards them. “Mr. Galtier talks about the platform as a reflection of a shitty society, it would be nice if he looked around before talking about our platform.” Vibe.
