The smoke bombs were out Tuesday evening at the Park, on the occasion of PSG – Juventus (2-1).
Gala evening Tuesday evening at the Parc des Princes. For the return of Paris Saint-Germain to the Champions League (2-1 win over Juventus), a few months after the painful elimination in the round of 16 against Real Madrid, the fans had decided to mark the occasion. With a lot of tifos of course, but also multiple smoke bombs and other pyrotechnic devices. And it is these last two elements which pose a problem and which could cost PSG and its fans dearly.
Prohibited by the regulations in force, the smoke bombs used in the Auteuil stand will surely not have escaped the notice of UEFA officials who should very quickly look into the subject. According to L’Équipe, these are “several dozen pyrotechnic objects” which would have been identified in this way. The media also indicates that the Collectif Ultras Paris (CUP) also made use of “what looked like fireworks“, which could push UEFA to decree a closed session for the stand concerned.
In camera possible
This in camera could be firm or simply suspended. In the first case, it would then be applied during one of the next two European outings of the Parisians at home, against Benfica (October 11) or Maccabi Haifa (October 25). It now remains for UEFA to decide and decide on the possible sanction it will impose on PSG.
