A MARSEILLE supporter was forced to watch the epic Ligue 1 draw at Strasbourg in his underwear after stewards forced him to remove his club tracksuit.
Cyril, 21, lives locally but is a die-hard OM fan — and tried his luck by buying a ticket among the home fans.
He took the opportunity to don his Marseille track suit.
However, stewards didn’t take too kindly to the incident, insisting he remove it before entering — and Cyril had to resort to fashioning a skirt with a cardigan.
He explained to France Bleu Provence: “The stewards told me I couldn’t enter with a Marseille logo, supposedly because of rule.
“I said to them, ‘Show me it.’ They took me for an idiot.
“I went to my car, got undressed. I just had my work top and a leather jacket.
“I was bare chested and in my underwear.
“I had the idea to make a skirt with my top, and they let me go into the stadium like that.”
Kaka was world class — but not a genuine genius
It has since been revealed that there is no such ruling — and Cyril may lodge a formal complaint.
He admitted he didn’t enjoy the match and even had to skip work the next day because he wasn’t well.
Cyril added: “It was humiliating, we don’t have any freedom of expression.
“I was cold, I didn’t feel good. I didn’t go to work today [Monday] because of that.”
At least Cyril got to enjoy a classic encounter, with the topsy-turvy match ending 3-3.
