PARIS (AP) — The French league has suspended Marseille defender Taye Taiwo for one match after he joined Marseille fans in singing an expletive-laced song about rival Paris Saint-Germain following last month’s League Cup final win.
After Marseille beat Montpellier 1-0 to retain the League Cup trophy at Stade de France, Taiwo grabbed a microphone and sang with Marseille fans in a mocking and insulting song about PSG — Marseille’s archrival.
The French league gave Taiwo another two games in a suspended sentence — it would be invoked for a repeat offense. That is unlikely because Taiwo is set to join AC Milan next season.
