As Paris Saint-Germain prepare for one of the biggest nights in their history – a UEFA Champions League final against Inter Milan – an unexpected phenomenon has taken hold over 750km south. In Marseille, demand for Inter Milan shirts has exploded in recent days, with local retailers describing a “crazy” surge in sales of Nerazzurri colours.
Speaking to BFM Marseille, a staff member at Foot.fr’s Plan de Campagne store explained:
“All year, no one asks for Inter shirts. Now it’s like the whole city is becoming Interista. It’s madness!”
The motivation behind this surge is no secret.
