Europe have not yet calmed down from the events before the Champions League final, which led to a postponement of more than half an hour of the opening whistle. Along with the UEFA announcement that an independent investigation would be opened, French television also dealt with the issue, with a statement that caused a stir.
In a televised debate, the French journalist Pascal separated Appellant claimed that the fans who broke into the Stade de France without a ticket did so because of the Real Madrid star: “None of the organizers thought it would be a hire at Benzema, it’s that simple. If it were not for Benzema, they would not have come. Last week was “The French Cup final and they did not come.”
He explained: “Kerim Benzema is perhaps the greatest French footballer of all time. A future winner of the Golden Ball and Icon and they wanted to see him.” He further argued that if those young people had been invited to the pitch in advance, all the commotion would not have occurred.
Things caused a stir, and Orleans Chuamani, who may be collaborating with Benzema at Real Madrid next season, also responded on social media: “Wait! Is this video serious?”. Later, Parod apologized and claimed that his words had been taken out of context.
WAIT! Is this video serious????? https://t.co/K3JVjFAeOz
