Paris Saint-Germain say they are going to make certain there is no such thing as a repeat of a midweek unfurling by followers of a banner proclaiming “Free Palestine”.
The large banner coated a complete part of the stadium on the Parc des Princes Wednesday evening forward of PSG’s defeat by the hands of Atletico Madrid.
In addition to the slogan “Free Palestine”, the banner confirmed a bloodstained Palestinian flag, a gesticulating man with a keffiyeh scarf masking all his face besides his eyes, the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem and a younger boy wrapped within the Lebanese flag.
On Friday, after a gathering with the French soccer federation and authorities officers, Qatari-owned PSG promised to “assure the absence of political messages” within the stands.
“A frank and constructive dialogue made it potential to determine options that PSG is dedicated to putting in from the subsequent match on the Parc des Princes,” a authorities spokesperson instructed AFP.
The banner, which was unfurled by the Paris Ultras Collective (CUP) hard-core fan group, was proven above one other slogan which learn: “Conflict on the pitch however peace on the earth.”
“The membership was not conscious of the plan to show such a message,” PSG stated in a press release Wednesday night.
