Beyond the disappointment of the elimination by Manchester United in the quarterfinals of the Europa League after a crazy match, OL returns with additional frustration. The Lyon club is unhappy with the treatment of its supporters at Old Trafford and intends to make it known at UEFA.
“We missed the disaster”: OL supporters will not only keep good memories of their trip to England. And it was not only because of the elimination by Manchester United in the quarterfinals of the Europa League after a completely crazy match that some Lyon players believed they won a little too early. Because everything did not ideally pass for the 2,652 supporters of Lyon who had made the trip to Old Trafford to support their team.
OL “deplores the conditions of access to Old Trafford”
OL, annoyed, has decided to move it to UEFA, pointing to the ill -treatment of its fans near the Mancunian enclosure. And also, in a short press release, “deplored the conditions of access to Old Trafford who were able to put you in danger” and called the supporters impacted to testify on a specific platform.
However, everything had ideally started for Lyon fans. Gatherings in town in good humor at the entrance into the tramway – crowded and at high temperature as are often transport in such circumstances – to the constitution of the procession … Security has been ensured and witnesses report having noticed any hitch. Including to browse the 800 meters between the gathering at the exit of the tram from the stadium entrance. Arrived 1:30 before kick -off as agreed, the group of supporters then saw the situation deteriorate. Not from a security point of view but on the organizational side.
“We returned in the 25th minute”
Subject of annoyance: entry into the stadium, drop by drops as seen by viewers who saw a Lyonnais parcage not full before it is gradually filled during the first period. “Suddenly, we are stopped at the foot of the stadium, while we are in time at 1:30 am from the start,” said a supporter at RMC Sport. “And here we didn't understand anything. Everyone was starting to get upset a little. There were crowd movements, people next to me had discomfort and had to be exfiltrated. Time passes and in the end, we returned in the 25th minute.”
While some OL fans were able to return in time to attend the meeting of the meeting, many who have remained blocked outside. Without any overflow or incident justifying a possible precautionary measure. Another supporter reports “abused extensive excavations”: “They made us go down to drops. Crazy! I have never seen that.” Another wonders about the attitude and the “little smile of the stadiers who said a little and annoyed us a little bit”: “I had the chance to go back after five minutes from the start. But I have a friend who returned only to the 38th. It is necessarily annoying. And above all incomprehensible.”
Hittings without justification that participated in the feeling of the spoiled evening. “This crazy scenario … at 4-2 for us, I already saw myself in Bilbao (for the final editor's note)”, says a supporter. “And Patatras. I would have to see the match again to understand. But what is it to understand, is it football?” With a big meeting on Sunday against the neighbor and “enemy” Saint-Etienne. Seven o'clock road to reach the ferry, two hours crossing the Channel, nine hours of drive for an arrival in Lyon around 8 p.m. … almost 24 hours after the match for some. “If in addition we lose the derby, it will be the week of hell,” sums up a fan of OL. Football is definitely something apart.
