Even though after this scandal French Football is not the same again, it's truly a wrong fact. 3 Marseille players that were started during that game would later go on to become an integral part of the national team's golden generation team that won the 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000 (Deschamps, Barthez, Desailly). Desailly had even switched to the losing side of that game (Milan) that won the Scudetto and Champions League Double a year later. Of course, French clubs might have underperformed in the European club competitions, but the national team had some great success after this scandal.

French international football was fortunately able to thrive after, however French club football really suffered. Had it not been for this scandal, it could have been as watched as Bundesliga, La Liga and Serie A but is the one of the “big 5” leagues that most people don’t really care about. French international football certainly succeeded, but a lot of those players such as Zidane, Petit and Henry were playing outside France at that point

Wouldn't mind if they stripped that Champions League from Marseille, and give it to the finalist 😁😁

Was this not the same team who cheated Rangers that season. I remember we drew 2-2 at Ibrox

The whole region was Yugoslavia at that time. The break up of what was formally known as Yugoslavia didn't happen until 1995.
