What a flare-up! A scuffle breaks out between Nice and Marseille players

On Friday, 21 November, Nice hosted Marseille in a Ligue 1 Matchday 13 fixture, and midway through the first half the game boiled over.

Details: In the 33rd minute, Mason Greenwood struck to double Marseille’s lead. But immediately after the goal, tempers flared and a scuffle erupted between players from Nice and Marseille, coming close to spilling into a full-blown fight.

Fortunately, the situation was quickly defused. The referee brandished several yellow cards, and the match carried on.

Reminder: Paul Pogba has missed two years due to suspension, but that period has now expired — and we are on the verge of seeing him on the pitch again.
