Then and there
Bit of the same stuff in the Hoffenheim - Lyon match.

After falling behind, Lyon became more dangerous once Cherki and Lacazette entered after an hour. Both were heavily involved in the buildup of the equalizer and then Lacazette scored what looked like being a winner on the 93rd minute. But Hoffenheim still had enough time left and made it 2-2 couple of minutes later.

I had a former student play at Chelsea yesterday.
Was a complete Phenom at 12 years old as CM, signed with Nantes, developped there, was placed as 10 at 18,exploded as best passer and best scorer of the U19 French league but was never given playing time at Nantes and stalled for two years. Lost two full years of development in the mess and changing coaches at Nantes.
In the end he chose to walk away and sign with an Armenian club (he has Armenian origins).
It's really sad that he was clearly among the top young french talents at 18 but his mess of a club prevented him from finishing his development.

...and the international press will describe them as victims this time too.

Only news I saw here in the Czech Republic was how Bibi was sending planes to bring home the poor supporters who were the victims of racist attacks. Figured there was more to it but that's all we got here

These things are never just one thing. My guess is that you had Israeli hooligans who went out there, acted like complete jerkoffs, offended everyone in sight and subsequently got walloped along with a combination of anti-Israel people who were going to roam and look/start trouble no matter what. Add in a healthy dose of innocent folks caught in the middle of it and you get this.
