At a time when the Champions Trophy will pit PSG and OM against each other this Thursday, January 8 in Kuwait City, it seems difficult not to remember a unique episode in the history of French football. More than forty years earlier, during the 1982 World Cup in Spain, France faced the small emirate in Valladolid, for its second match of the group stage, in a match that became famous not for the score, but for its controversy. Sporty, that one.
On paper, it is an uneventful meeting. On the pitch, a match was over. And yet, the moment imprinted in memories has nothing to do with the game.
