Once legendary Saint-Étienne has returned to the elite of French football this season, and staying there seems to be a daunting task. This fact greatly annoyed the fans, one of whom decided to lie in wait in the team's parking lot to attack one of the players.
Details: According to Actu Saint-Étienne, central defender Dylan Batubinsika fell victim to the fan's wrath. After the 1-3 defeat to Nice on Saturday, he was leaving the stadium with his window down.
Then a fan approached him, struck him in the face, and fled the scene. The defender immediately reported the incident, and the police are searching for the attacker.
Reminder: A more prominent scandal in French football recently involved Lyon's head coach Paulo Fonseca, who, due to an attack on a referee, may face a suspension of up to seven months.
