Marseille involved in violent Galatasaray clash that briefly halts Europa League game

Marseille's match against Galatasary was halted for about eight minutes on Thursday due to fan violence and thrown projectiles, and just before full-time tension picked back up as on-loan defender William Saliba and forward Mbaye Diagne came face-to-face.

The scoreless Europa League draw at Stade Velodrome was overshadowed by the drama, which marked a continuation of a chaotic season for the hosts.

Earlier this year, Marseille's match against Nice was abandoned as supporters rushed the pitch to confront players.
