Paris Saint-Germain would have used its “digital army” in particular to destabilize Olympique de Marseille.
Last month, the investigative site Mediapart revealed the use by Paris Saint-Germain of a “digital army” aimed at discrediting players, managers and the media. French striker Kylian Mbappé, whose contract has been extended until June 2025, was allegedly targeted by the capital club, serious allegations that Paris then wanted to quickly deny to RMC Sports. “Do you really think we hire people to troll our own players? That we made Jean-Michel Aulas troll? It’s a bunch of complete nonsense. If any agency under the cover of the club did things, it’s up to them to answer – absolutely nothing to do with the club. We spent the last year renewing Mbappé with the biggest contract in world sport and involving President Macron, and you think that at the same time we were trolling him?

Surreal things (validating an operation to talk about Marseille as a “bitch city”, targeting its own fans), and above all wind…
Good viewing!

Marseilles “bitch town”
The fire has not been extinguished since, quite the contrary. According to revelations on the social networks of journalist Romain Molina, Paris Saint-Germain would also have attacked their opponents, at the head of which Olympique de Marseille. According to our colleague, the capital club would have validated a destabilization operation to evoke the Marseille city as a “bitch town.” A dismaying insult to be taken with a lot of tweezers and which will probably not make the two clubs concerned by this affair react.
Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique de Marseille will above all be keen to get people talking about their sporting rivalry. Fourth in the standings with 27 points, Igor Tudor’s men are now relegated eleven points behind the 2022 French champions. Eliminated from all European competitions, the Phocaeans will no doubt no longer have the opportunity to compete for the title race and to dethrone Paris Saint-Germain.
