Olympique de Marseille’s 1–0 win over Paris Saint-Germain should have been a night of pure celebration for the fans. Instead, it has turned into a storm of controversy that has left supporters stunned and divided after one of the club’s key players was told his career at OM is finished — not because of his performance, but because of what he posted online.
The 25-year-old, who many consider one of Marseille’s brightest names, was reportedly called in by club management just hours after the victory and informed that his “book with Marseille is closed.” The shocking decision was triggered by a social media post following the PSG clash, which the hierarchy deemed completely unacceptable.
The move has set social media ablaze. Fans flooded platforms with disbelief, with many arguing that management had gone too far. “You don’t throw away a player’s career over one post. Madness,” one supporter wrote. Another raged, “This has nothing to do with football anymore. Pure politics inside the club!”
But not everyone was sympathetic. A section of Marseille’s fanbase defended the decision, insisting the player should have known better. “When you wear this shirt, your behavior matters as much as your football. He disrespected the club,” one comment read.
The divide among supporters has only fueled the drama. Hashtags calling for the player to be reinstated began trending in France, while others demanded the club “stand firm” and show that no individual is bigger than Marseille.
For now, the 25-year-old remains under contract, but his playing days at the Vélodrome appear to be over. What should have been a weekend remembered for a famous win against PSG has instead been overshadowed by boardroom chaos, disciplinary battles, and a fanbase in uproar.
At just 25, the player’s career at Marseille has ended not on the pitch, but on the internet — leaving many to question if this is the most brutal decision the club has made in years.
