A banner against Qatar, displayed Sunday evening by the Ultras of AJ Auxerre during the reception of PSG could be worth sanctions to the Burgundian club. The LFP will investigate.
In full meeting of the thirty-sixth day of Ligue 1, the supporters of AJ Auxerre stood out. At the sixty-sixth minute of the match between their team and Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday, the Burgundian Ultras decided to deploy a long banner. The message was addressed to both PSG and its Qatari owner. ” If Paris is the city that symbolizes freedom… PSG is the club that symbolizes dictatorship: remember boycott Qatar2022. “A message that did not please the Professional Football League at all.
According to information released on Monday by RMC, the football body has taken up the case and could well sanction AJ Auxerre. The media evokes a “big fine or a partial closed session” against the Burgundy club and its supporters. It is also recalled that the OAH stand, guilty of having used pyrotechnic devices during the match against Lille, had already been sanctioned with the closing of a suspended match. This time, the reprieve could be commuted to a real sentence.
Complicated final fight
Auxerre would have done well without this affair since the club is in the midst of a fight to maintain it. While it remains on five consecutive meetings without the slightest success (3 defeats and 2 draws), the Burgundian club flirts very dangerously with a red zone which it avoids for the moment thanks to a very small point in advance on FC Nantes (17th). With two games still to play (in Toulouse and against Lens), AJA is far from saved.
