McCourt still in the spotlight as Vélodrome backed Marseille to the end

Marseille owner Frank McCourt remains in the crosshairs of some sections of the stadium, as highlighted by L’Équipe. Even so, the most committed stands ultimately stayed with the team until the final whistle.

According to the paper, those supporters backed Marseille throughout their Ligue 1 match against Paris Saint Germain on Sunday night. It was a tough game that finished 1-2, with Marseille putting up a combative performance.

The account captures that contrast: while McCourt continues to be targeted beyond the pitch, the atmosphere shifted into support mode during the match.

The takeaway is the clash between off-field noise and what the team received on it. From a football perspective, the scoreline isn’t a win, but the “fighting” display is the main point to keep from a demanding fixture.
