While confusion reigns over the access of Marseille supporters to the match this Thursday in Lisbon, the travel of those of Benfica will not be prohibited in Marseille on April 18.
“At the request of Gérald Darmanin, there will be no travel ban on Benfica supporters in Marseille on April 18,” said his entourage.
The Portuguese club had, however, assured that it had “been officially notified by the French authorities” of such a measure to justify the deactivation of Marseille supporters' tickets during the quarter-final first leg, which takes place this Thursday evening.
