Lyon to sue 15-year-old who took Depay and Lacazette selfie
A teenage l'OM supporter is reportedly going up in court for racing onto the pitch for a post-win photo with his favourite players.
French journalist Julien Laurens broke the news on Sunday, saying the club are taking legal action against the teenager.
“This young boy is 15. He wanted to celebrate with his heroes Depay and Lacazette after they scored their fourth goal against Dijon last week,” he told the European Football Show on BT.
“So he ran on the pitch, took a selfie with Lacazette and now Lyon are taking him to court, suing him!
“He said ‘I was so happy, I didn’t really think’ and now he has to meet the club in court.”
