Lucas Hernandez, who moved from Bayern Munich to Paris SG this summer, was treated to an icy welcome from part of the Parisian public at the Parc des Princes on Saturday during the meeting between the champions of France and Lorient . During the match, the international was probably able to see the banner deployed by the Parisian ultras at his address with a hostile message: “We all make mistakes, being born in Marseille is one of them.”
Paris SG fans still cannot digest the defender’s ties with the Marseille city where he was born. Hernandez is also the son of a former professional player who passed through the club between 1995 and 1998. And as a child, he was logically behind the Olympian club. “You are not welcome, the Marseillais… And we will let you know”, threatened Romain Mabille, the president of the supporters’ club when the transfer was formalized.
In a recent interview with the Team, the player had nevertheless tried to explain that the past was buried. “It’s not fun. Afterwards, I understand people perfectly. I’m young and I’ve had awkward remarks about OM and the fact that I would never play at PSG”, he explained before adding: “I’m coming here to show all the supporters of the PSG who are skeptical that I am here to give everything for the club and this jersey. Explanations which obviously did not convince the toughest fringe of Parisian supporters.
