Bertrand Latour denounces anti‑Marseillaise whistles in Milan

The Blues took a licking. On the road on the San Siro pitch this Thursday evening, as part of the Nations League, the French team were beaten 3-1 by Italy after Michael Olise opened the scoring.

And the disappointment was not limited to the pitch.

The loud whistles heard in the stands of the legendary Milan arena during La Marseillaise sparked a strong indignation.

Bertrand Latour, journalist at Canal+, did not hide his anger at the attitude of part of the Italian crowd.

On X, the Canal+ journalist strongly denounced this unfortunate episode.

He also highlighted the reaction of the Italian players, who applauded the French anthem after hearing the boos coming from the stands.

Bertrand Latour does not mince words: “After the Belgians, the Italians boo the Marseillaise. Donnarumma and his teammates forced to applaud in response. Disgusting,” the journalist wrote on the social network.

He thus refers to a similar episode involving Belgian supporters, who also whistled the tricolour anthem on September 28.
