Neymar, Mbappe Dazzle In France’s First Post-Covid-19 5,000 Football Crowd In PSG Friendly Win
LAGOS JULY 13TH (NEWSRANGERS)-Around 5,000 fans saw the Ligue 1 champions beat Le Havre, with supporters allowed into stadiums for the first time since early March.
Paris Saint-Germain crushed Le Havre 9-0 in a friendly as France allowed supporters back into football stadiums for the first time since lockdown.
The occasion was described as “a victory for French football” by sports minister Roxana Maracineanu, who was among the crowd of close to 5,000 at Le Havre’s Stade Oceane.
France suspended football in March due to the coronavirus pandemic and called an early halt to league competitions in April, declaring PSG champions of Ligue 1 as final positions were calculated on a points-per-game basis.
PSG have a pair of domestic cup finals still to play, however, and remain in the Champions League, which resumes in August.
