Ligue 1 match postponed after fans attacked training facilities
Marseille were scheduled to play against Rennes at home at the Stade Vélodrome tonight, but that match has been postponed after angry fans attacked Marseille's training ground earlier today. Due to the situation that unfolded, Marseille asked the French Football Federation to postpone the match. That request was forwarded to Rennes, which accepted the request. The reason why angry fans today attacked the facility was due to the fact that they are furious at the club's poor results, as well as a desire for the president of the club, Jacques-Henri Eyraud, to resign. 25 people were arrested in connection with the riots, that according to the French media RMC. Marseille have lost four games in a row and are currently in seventh place in Ligue 1, where they have 13 points up to Lille in third place, which gives access to the Champions League next season.
