The club wants its fans out of Marseille
Olympiacos released a statement late on Tuesday 13 October (5).
The line was blunt, calling for a climbdown from the French authorities and for the club's fans to be allowed to leave Marseille: "Παλινωδία των γαλλικών αρχών, να φύγουν οι φίλαθλοί μας απ' τη Μασσαλία" (5).
