After the riots before OGC Nice’s Conference League game against Bundesliga club 1. FC Köln (1-1), coach Lucien Favre does not expect the French to be punished in the form of a ghost game.
- “No, and that would also be unfair, because our fans are not at all to blame for what happened,” said the former Bundesliga coach of Hertha BSC, Borussia Mönchengladbach and Borussia Dortmund.
- The game had started 55 minutes later due to rioting before kick-off with 32 injured. He was “absolutely appalled” by the incidents, said the Swiss. “But I was in favor of us playing. Also because there was no other date to catch up on the game.”
