Paris Brunner apologizes after miming a throat slitting towards Strasbourg supporters

Wasting an exceptional goal ten seconds after scoring it is possible. Ask Paris Brunner. The Monegasque striker, author of a magnificent strike in the top corner to snatch the point from a draw in Strasbourg (1-1), during the 4th day of L1, ruined everything by miming a throat slitting towards the supporters of La Meinau. Not necessarily a brilliant gesture, as Brunner ended up recognizing after the meeting, in a story published on Instagram.

“It is important for me to clarify that I did not want to disrespect anyone,” the player defended. I'm sorry if it hurt anyone. I acted out of emotion, this gesture was clumsy and I should not have done it. »

“The supporters talked about my family, my mother, my father”

A little earlier in the evening, Brunner had justified his breakdown with provocations emanating from the stands. “The supporters talked about my family, my mother, my father,” he declared in the mixed zone. I could see them [those who insulted]. There were a lot of emotions, especially after a shot like that. I didn't mean to be disrespectful. I wouldn't say I regret it but that's not the message I wanted to send. It was misunderstood. What I wanted to say was ''what a goal, it's over''. »

It remains to be seen whether the League's disciplinary committee will take up the subject or if, indeed, "it's over".
