Marseille-Lyon Off After Bus Attack As 'Angry' Kylian Mbappe Lifts PSG

Sunday's Ligue 1 match between Marseille and Lyon was postponed after the visitors' bus was stoned on its way to the ground, while Kylian Mbappe drew the ire of Brest after scoring twice in Paris Saint-Germain's 3-2 victory. Lyon coach Fabio Grosso's face was left bloodied and his assistant was also injured as the team bus was pelted with stones en route to the Velodrome, shattering several windows. A club source said Grosso had also been experiencing dizzy spells.

A crisis unit was set up to decide the fate of the match, with Lyon making clear their reluctance for the game to go ahead given the circumstances.

"Based on Lyon's wishes... the decision was taken not to start the match," said referee Francois Letexier, adding that reports "have been forwarded to the relevant authorities who will decide what action to take".

A second bus containing Lyon supporters was also attacked with stones and the windows damaged, a local police source told AFP.

"These images are revolting. Seeing the stoned bus like that, the bloody face of Fabio
