A few minutes after the OL bus was stoned, Faisal saw the side window of his shattered while he was transporting Lyon supporters to the Vélodrome stadium. “At the Lançon tollbooth, we were escorted by an armada of CRS and gendarmes (…), says the driver. It was via radio that we learned that the players’ bus had been stoned. The police ordered us to stop the bus. We waited a little less than an hour, and when we finally got back to the stadium, the first of the four buses leaving from the Rhône-Alpes region began to stone. »
“My window on the driver’s side was shattered,” he continues. We were able to go to the underground car parks reserved for supporters. There, we no longer feared anything. The supporters went into the stands. Members of the Professional Football League came to take photos, and at 10 p.m., I was still waiting to know when I would be able to bring ‘my’ supporters home. »
The bus driver also mentions hooded people wearing South Winners scarves.
