01/05 at 21:25 Paris ultras show banners at Camp des Loges
Upset after the new defeat against Lorient on Sunday (3-1), the Collectif Ultras Paris expressed their anger at the Camp des Loges on Monday with several banners.

01/05 at 20:09 Rothen doesn’t see OM beating PSG to the title
Despite its more than mediocre end to the season, PSG is still leading for the Ligue 1 title, even though OM is in ambush, five points behind. But according to Jérôme Rothen, the capital club will not let the eleventh title of its history slip in favour of their rival from Marseille.
“The Marseille team has to believe in it, it’s natural. Now, it doesn’t belong to them. It belongs mostly to PSG, as our consultant reminds us in his show Rothen enflamme sur RMC. We shouldn’t make people believe that anything is possible. There is still a very favourable schedule for PSG over the next two matches (at Troyes and against Ajaccio), against two very bad teams and almost already relegated. Even with a very small PSG, as is the case in recent weeks, I remain convinced that PSG will be champion. But there will be regrets in Marseille, I think, for not having believed a little bit earlier. It seems to me that something was missing over the last few months to make the leap. Afterwards, at the accounting level, what they can achieve is still magnificent.”

01/05 at 16:57 “Monaco and Marseille must be furious,” Montanier deplores
Winner of the Coupe de France on Saturday, Toulouse will already be back on the pitch on Tuesday, with the reception of Lens during the 33rd Ligue 1 matchday.
If the TFC seems to have already secured their maintenance, the RCL is fighting for second place with OM, even for the title. It is a schedule that surprises Philippe Montanier, in a press conference: “It hinders us to play so early, because it’s not very fair sports-wise,” points out the coach of the TFC. “We have to be careful about sporting equity. We would have preferred to play Wednesday, like Nantes. Monaco and Marseille must be furious.”
01/05 at 15:47 Nantes terminates contract with U17 player who left to play the CAN with Algeria without his consent
As a member of the Nantes U17 team, Younes Ben Ali recently expressed his desire to play the U17 CAN with Algeria. The club informed him that they refused this request because these were dates outside FIFA. It is not a matter of nationality. The club simply wanted to keep him in Nantes for the end of the season in the U17 championship. He was told that his contract would be terminated if he participated in this competition without the club’s consent.
After the player left for the CAN, Nantes drafted an addendum to Ben Ali’s contract to terminate it. The player chose not to sign it. The player’s advisor did not understand his decision to play in this competition. Additionally, the player was in open conflict with his U17 coach at Nantes, Francis Liaigre.
Present at a press conference with the Algerian U17 squad on Monday, Ben Ali commented on his situation: “Since I was little, I have played for FC Nantes. And as many know, I am in love with this club, it’s my heart’s club. I have always respected FCN, since I was little, I have done everything there. This year, I had the opportunity to represent my country, Algeria. It is not given to everyone to represent this country. It is a great pride. I did everything right. We disagreed with the club on a few points. I respected everything I had to do. I decided to go to Algeria. I was not disrespectful. I chose to respect my country and it should be respected. After that, there are those who don’t agree with me. But the most important thing remains to go as far as possible in the African Cup.”

01/05 at 14:40 “They are good, but we are good too”, Tudor launches the Lens-OM clash
Back to five points behind PSG, OM still believes in the French championship title at the end of the five remaining matchdays. Igor Tudor is only looking forward to the trip to Lens on Saturday (9 p.m.), a top match in the fight for second place in Ligue 1.
“It’s a very important match for us,” warned the Croatian coach at Prime Video’s microphone. “I still remember the first leg (a 1-0 defeat on October 22), it was a fantastic match. I think we deserved to win more than they did, but it was they who won. It will be difficult because they are good, but we are good too. People will enjoy all of this, it will be good football. Winning will be important.”
