5000 fans at Le Havre-PSG and many were without masks!

Jean-Michael Aulas, the Lyon president, was furious that the Ligue 1 season was brought to an early end due to the coronavirus. It remains to be seen what Aulas thinks after seeing 5000 people packed into Le Havre's stadium to watch them play PSG in the Ligue 1 side's first friendly. 

That is what happened. After the authorities considered it to be too dangerous for the Ligue 1 season to be completed even behind closed doors, fans were allowed to watch Le Havre-PSG in the stadium. That was after the Le Havre gave his approval to the move. 

5,000 people were in the stadium and many of them were without masks. Obviously, they were not respecting social distancing either as the seats were all very close to each other. 

At least spectators had to wear masks and antibacterial gel was available for everyone when entering the ground.

The situation in Europe is a lot different now compared to when the decision to suspend Ligue 1 was made, but letting spectators in does not seem very wise given the fresh outbreaks there have been across Europe. 

The PSG players were in fine form in their first game and they were already 0-5 up at half-time. Neymar, Icardi and Mbappe were among those to get on the scoresheet.
