Marseille 0-3 Manchester City | Strange moments before the start of the game and the explanation of the French

Before kick-off, Manchester City players knelt in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.

During this period, the players of the French team stood, lined up, in the center of the field. The images went around the world and the French press later explained what had happened.

It was not a hostile attitude on the part of the OM, there is simply no initiative in Ligue 1, so the players were not used to making this gesture.

“A strange moment before the match began. Manchester City players knelt, in the Premier League tradition, as a sign against racism. In Ligue 1, this custom was never enforced, hence the players of the ‘ OM gathered in line., While the referee and guests knelt “, wrote on Twitter, those of Get French Football News.
