In 1993, Marseille became the first French team to win the Champions League, beating Fabio Capello’s Milan 1-0. But it emerged shortly after that Marseille, in their 1-0 win over Valenciennes on the final day of the Ligue 1 season, had bribed opposition players to ensure that victory.
Callum Rice-Coates and Philippe Fenner tell the story of what happened.

I'm guessing (without knowing that much) that the ban didn't come from court for the corruption charges were the testimony took place, rather the ban was imposed by FFF/UEFA/FIFA.
Nah he played himself
@@ruttedpanda7884 so what you kill someone, tell it to the autorities and get immunity for it ? A crime is a crime and in France we punish crimes we don't make weird deals (or, clearly not as often as in the US).
I don't think french law is weird, more like the US justice is total bullshit. For instance, you guys gave a million to Flyod Landis because he told stuff about Lance Armstrong. So you are giving a million to someone that won the Tour de France cheating because he gave informations about another guy that won several Tour de France cheating. Now that's justice!! how about fining/jailing both of them ? they did the same thing didn't they ?
@@ruttedpanda7884 I used killings to exaggerate to make my point. You can get immunity + a million if you rat about cheating, even if you are a cheater yourself. So yeah it doesn't apply to killings, but it applies to cheaters in the tour de france, so how you determine the limit when it works or not ? In the Lance Armstrong case there were loads of evidence, so much that Lance himself "came clean" and told the truth. And then floyd gets a million 8 years after ? I am sorry but the logic being USA's justice is dumb. Just the fact that you can pay to avoid being in a cell is unreal for us europeans.

Would like to see a "history of cup runs" video series. Take a short 5-10 min video to look at teams that have won a European cup once for example, then explain briefly their team and tactics and slight back story, then where the team went off the next season. I.e player sales or retirement or manager sacked.
Great video as always
Love this idea.
Great idea
Steau Bucharesti and dínamo Kiev come to mind. I had no idea football clubs behind the iron curtain were successful against clubs with real budgets.
The Barcelona 2009 one would be epic. Guardiola’s first season in charge, the Chelsea scandal in the UCL semi finals, then the chance to face the greatest team in Europe at the time (Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United) and denying them from becoming the first ever back to back UCL winners in the modern era.
Manchester United 1999 (that squad faced Bayern Barcelona Inter Juventus and Bayern again - all filled with legendary players en route to becoming the first club ever to win the Treble)
Please make a video on Red star Belgrade, the team that won 1991 European cup final.
No

Maybe
No, fuck off
@@partizanrebelgrade7754 no, you fuck off
It was sullied, but it wasn't stolen away. Marseille wasn't stripped of the CL win.
His 2006 autobiography caught the attention as he claimed that prior to the meeting with Milan, he and several other players were given suspicious injections.
More than a decade after the event, there was little that UEFA could do other than check the anti-doping tests that had been conducted after the match.
“Those tests proved negative,” FFF president Jean-Pierre Escalettes and LFP president Frederic Thiriez said in a joint statement as the controversy resurfaced with a bang.
The 2009 Chelsea vs Barcelona UCL semi-final comes to mind where Platinu as UEFA President also said before the semis that it would be great to see a Ronaldo vs Messi final, so they out right denied Chelsea 3-4 clear penalties in the 2nd leg at Stamford Bridge.
This is Not a coincidence because 3 years before that RvP and Henry spoke about the referees favoring Barcelona after the 2006 UCL Final.
Ahah very interesting to hear this story from abroad as a Frenchman. Thanks a lot
Maybe just a suggestion / would be great if you may take care about consistency of club logos in time. While Marseille’s and I think Monaco’s logo where the one from 93, the other ones at least Valenciennes, red star belgrad and cska Moscow looked to me as being some more recent ones. That would just be even better 😀
Yes and also the trophy design of "Ligue 1" is not correct, the "Hexagoal" were create in 2006 or 2007. But anyway, great video a usual guys !
Vincent Nacthigal at that time Ligue 1 was even Division 1 and I think that they were no official trophy - so I would say that this is an ok representation cause it replaced ... nothing 😀
I’d love to see a video on Hearts under Vladimir Romanov’s ownership. That would be truly amazing
It's sad that his ego costed Hearts a rare league title which would have been amazing for Scottish football. Could've and should've won the double that year.
Then Deschamps went on to play for Juventus. Guess he just loved playing for serial cheaters!!
psa9819 he was long retired by the time Juventus was caught cheating between 2004-2006.
@@AliMohamed-yq4wn dude, between 1994-1998 the players were given performance enhancing drugs like EPO by the team doctor, around this period they also won CL.
@@ej1635 enhancing drugs were just very common pretty much everywhere in football back in those days
Ali Mohamed being caught doesn’t mean it didn’t happen before 🤨
I used to to PED in sports during 90s and early 2000s. I can guarantee you that Operation Puerto blood doping ring will have big name in football in there too.
I never thought, as a frenchman, I would, one day, heard the name of Francois Mitterand on this channel.
Now, I can say I have.
Great video by the way.
“It would be hard to imagine a greater football scandal”
Nah mate, wait till you see Serie A during 2000-2009
In 1915, Liverpool and Manchester United players got lifetime bans for match fixing. They fixed the match to be 2 nil to Manchester United. It was the last season before the First World War so players were trying to earn extra money. Manchester United would have been relegated if they had lost! Match fixing happens in the English leagues too.
The truth of the matter is Tapie would never have considered bribing opposition players if he didn't already know this kind of the behavior was the norm rather than the exception. Still goes on today but the mechanics of the operation are completely different.
Yeah, I mean Italian football was chock-full of bribery of referees in the 80s and basically nothing was done about it. They tried to clean it up by assigning referees for matches at random but Hellas Verona ended up winning the league in 1985 as opposed to Juventus/Milan/Inter so that solution was quickly discarded.
Marseille's case was the only one uncovered so only them get the flack for it, but football was run on corruption and bribery for decades without any consequence.
@@KC-kw7ii I think most of the football leagues throughout Europe got their fingers slapped because too much of this stuff was going on. I think they were told either you police it properly or we (the various governments) will. FIFA. the Prem etc. (like the NFL) employ dozens of former law enforcement officers, spooks, ex military etc. and are always on the lookout for suspicious betting activity. Which means the old way of fixing games is much, much harder. However, there's absolutely nothing stopping say - the Prem or even FIFA and the WC from fixing the matches themselves. They'd do it through the video replay system (which they control). You'd never know.
There were players from that Red Star Belgrade team from 1991 that around 25 years later came out and said that they were offered money to lose that final game but they refused. That team of Marseille was really good during that whole period no doubt about it even so too many things were fishy to say the least!
Marseilles 6-0 win against CSKA Moskva was suspicious at best, even considering when there was rangers players asked to take money to lose against them also
Great channel and great job.
Just for info, it wasn't called Ligue 1 back then but D1 (Division 1); it changed in 2002. And that round/hexagonal trophy (Hexagoal) only appeared in the 2006-2007 season.
Damn you Bernard Tapie. From LeMond and Hinault to this
Nothing gets past Le Professuer! 😌🔥
He's such a moral voice in football
Three things:
1. Glassman’s career was destroyed by his refusal to accept the bribe and speaking up against the omerta. He never found another top level team, allegedly due to Tapis’s influence. It’s one of the saddest fates of French football.
2. The most interesting part of this weird story is that nobody won the league (still called Division 1) that year. Second place PSG was owned by TV operator Canal+ back then, who owned the broadcasting rights to the league. Canal+ had agreed with Tapie behind the scenes to create a rivalry between PSG and OM (even thought there was none historically) during those years, and played up the opposition to the point of fostering genuine hatred between fans of the opposing teams in order to boost audiences and increase the appeal of the League. When the scandal happened, Canal+ got worried that the entire Provence region would boycott the (paid) channel and blocked PSG from claiming the title, forcing the league to declare the entire season vacated.
3. Bernès is pronounced Berness’
Independent: It would be hard to imagine a greater football scandal.
Serie A: Hold my beer
This is horrible as a rangers fan as it cost us our place in the champions league final, we needed 1 point and I don't think we even lost a game in our semi final group
We didn't lose a game all tournament and all season mate. That was the famous unbeaten year we nearly had a quadruple and matched Celtics Lisbon Lions.
Had we don't the tournament we would have had automatic entry into the following seasons as champions. Instead we had to quify again and failed. The season after that (94/95) UEFA gave out automatic group stage qualification for the very first time and only selected the 4 big leagues and some chosen other big nations.... England got a spot despite ALL their cha pio a for the 3 previous seasons (91/92 was the European cup but UEFA trialled a group stage in that season) failing to reach the group stages of the tournament. So England got a group stage spot for free, without earning it while Rangers, now in their 2nd group stage of the first 3 seasons of the Champions league, still had to go through qualifiers.
Honestly, you should read up on it all UEFA played a huge role in making the EPL especially become what it is today and they purposely made the European competitions harder for 40 nations.
Rangers should have played in the 92/93 champions league final
Ghana's Abedi Pele was absolutely fantastic in this team
better not talk about Benfica from Portugal that deserves a full documentary
Tapie more than likely bribed officials in the champions league. Rangers had a number of unfair decisions go against them. That was their final and Tapie stole it from them
Not surprising. I know a situation where FC Porto's officials bribed a scandinavian ref team in the Champions League with prostitutes. So..it must be a regular thing
Similar to Anderlecht and their UEFA cup semi final against Nottingham Forest in 1984.
John S Excuses,excuses
Ye but nobody likes Rangers and they also got up to a lot of shadey dealings off the field which is why they had to also move down a few league's and start again
No no no no no, nice try but if the Rangers lost to these guys it was because they took a fat envelope of cash, you see that they did not or could not bribe the refs, otherwise that's always the way to go. Can't have it both ways. Rangers either got beat or took the money and kept their mouths shut. Either it was their final and they lost like men, or they took a packet and some fine wine back to Scotland, and called it a day's work. You need to zip your lip, and let the grownups live with their decisions.
Yay early we love your content mate😍
Imagine not wanting your team to repeat near misses of previous years by bribing your way around it so that it would seem valid.
Please make a video on Steaua Bucharest. European Cup winners in 1986, who also went on a 104 game unbeaten run in the league during that period. The longest in any European League.
Octavian Afrasinei think a look at some of the 85-93 European Cup/ CL winners would be interesting. I mean Steau Bucharest, PSV, Red Star and Marseille aren’t exactly teams that spring to mind when you think of European winners.
@@troygrindley3793 Yeah...I do think football in the 80's to early 2000's was a bit more fun just for the sheer diversity of it. I mean back then anyone could win anything. Nowadays is just a money race with the same 5-6 teams going at it every year.
Which of the three Steauas is that one? :D
@@TessaTestarossa 3? I only have knowledge of 2, but in reality there's only one.
Odata in viata frate ati avut noroc :)
Marseilles had a fine team that season (92/93). Though the most electrifying team in the Champions League that year were Rangers. Both teams had draws against each other, and Andy Goram in goal for Rangers played a blinder all year.
Fantastic video put together and topic too. At 30 years old I had no idea of this scandal and have been watching football for 20 years!
Thumbs up
My friend, you should check out that season and Rangers form from the qualifiers to how close they came to the final. That was the inaugural season of the Champiins league and all 8 founding group 'league' stage clubs were given a star around the Champions league logo. It was just champions back then also. No seedings, no automatic qualification for some nations, no coefficients etc. Just straight and fair.
The very first Champions league had No German, No Slanish and No English teams qualify for it, imagine that now lol.
Do one about Tele Santana's history, from the 1982 world cup to the 92/93 intercontinetal cups!
Also his tactical approach has well because they are well orchestrated
great vids lad
wow thanks for the video! I just learned a new knowledge today 😄
And the club has never truly recovered. Only one league title since with a few runner up finished, including this year actually. Hopefully AVB keeps it going and can challenge PSG in the next year or two.

Could you make a video about the max fixing scandal in turkey in the 2011, which fenerbahce and besiktas to be banned from Champions League and Europa League for a few years. But they didnt lost their titel to this day.
Lan fetöcü, izledigin videoda nasil yakalnmis marsilya? Para var, alan futbolcular itiraf etmis, veren futbolcular itiraf etmis. Ayrica iki tarafta yargilanmis. Turkiyede Fenerbahceli yoneticiler disinda hapis yatan baskan veya futbolcu varmiydi? Veya verilen para bulunmus mu? Para transferi bulunmus mu? Sike bu videodaki gibi oluyor. Fenerbahce sike yaptiysa kimle yapti? Bu adam arastirsa 3 temmuz davasini kiciyla güler.
Other interesting facts: the lifetime ban did not go through. Tapie will come back to the club in 2001 just for two seasons and Bernès is today the agent of many ex-international french football players and also the current agent of the french national team....Didier Deschamps.
Videos on the FIFA Club World Cup would be amazing.
there are some errors in this video. Marseille is crowned champion of France three days after the title of European champion and not before. And the match of corruption is not the last day of the championship but rather three days before the final in Munich.
damn, capellos milan was a main stay in the finals in the 90s, like bayern are a main stay at the semis for the last 20 years.
We could also add the testimony of Marc Fratani, ex-assistant of Bernard Tapie at that time. He recently declared that there was a whole set of measures that Tapie and Bernès used to favor Marseille between 1988 and 1993. Bribing referees was one of them and Marc Fratani even took part to those bribes occasionally, making sure to leave the money in a safe place for the referee to pick it up the day following the game. They were not doing this on each game though, because it was costly and they didn't want to take the risk to do it too often.
They also used syringe injections into the other teams water bottles at the Vélodrome. They were injecting Haldol into them before the games, which is an anaesthetic.
Fratani is not in good terms with Tapie anymore now, which is why he revealed all of this to the media last year. I don't know what took him so long to do that but I'm also pretty sure that Marseille wasn't the only club in the world to use such methods back in the day or even nowadays. But as it is said in the video, such actions are hard to prove when it happens.
Fratani wrote books praising Tapie. The only reason he said that is because Tapie refused to give him a favor recently... Frataini is a piece of shit
Justice is only done when the 1993 european cup is given to Ac Milan. This is justice.
I don't know if you already have, but I think a video on red star winning the European Cup in 1991 would be really interesting.
I don’t recall Gary Barlow playing in goal for Marseille......

You forgot to add that the title was offered to PSG who refused it because it was owned by TV channel canal+ who didn’t want to anger their Marseille fans subscribers
Maybe they refused because of the absolute spanking you received a few days after the final and would have looked ridiculous to accept after that.

Goethals had previous experience in these matters. When coach of Standard Liege in 1982 he was found guilty of bribing Waterschei players in the last game of the season to ensure Standard would win the Belgian title. Somehow he was never implicated in the Marseille affair...
Do 80's - 90's FC Porto after this. And as a Benfica fan I will admit that you could do Benfica 2010's "Polvo" case after that. They are both very interesting. In the Porto one you see a lot of bribery, drugs and on-pitch violence and in the Benfica one you see how influential a football team can be. Alas, Portuguese "futebol" is very corrupt.
If you think match fixing in Football is nolonger a thing, see Chelsea versus Barcelona in the 2009 Champions League Semi Final.
I am pretty sure that we will be hearing a similar story 25 years later about Real Madrid 3 consecutive UCL's
can you do Grenada vs Barbados world cup qualifier 1994 match or Grenada vs USA 2004 WC qualifier 2006?
Rangers FC were the best side in the European Cup that season. Rangers v Milan would have been an epic Final. Marseille buying off the refs and opposition only stopped the Glasgow club.
0 proof
Rangers had a goal difference in the group stage of +2. Marseille and Milan had a goal difference of +10. Rangers won 2 of their group games whereas Milan won all 6.
It doesn’t sound like history supports your claim that Rangers were the best side in the tournament.
Now Celtic on the other hand…there’s a team who actually did win the European Cup, and in doing so beat Inter Milan rather than the likes of Club Brugge and CSKA Moscow, whose scalps Rangers claimed on their run to the group stage of the Champions League.
Rangers FC don't even exist anymore
So they were stripped of their title and relegated, but still retained the UCL? Seems legit after CSKA and Rangers players both openly came out about Marseille trying to bribe them
Because they were not punished for match fixing, but because they paid opponents VA to take it easy on their players so nobody was injured against Milan. Also, it was considered a domestic issue, not a European one.
Sadly, max fixing in the UCL was never proven.
But that's justice: you are innocent until proven guilty.
One of my favorite teams in France...
Rangers were screwed out of getting to the champions league final this season.
Constant Vanden Stock: "Noobs"
Imagine if Marseille didn't cheat through the 1992-93 season. (Glasgow) Rangers could have been in the CL final and could have won it.
We had a world class team that season too. It still annoys us to this day.
@@pauldrummond755 I'm not even a Rangers fan and I'm annoyed as well. Weren't you on a 40+ games unbeaten streak? Unbeaten in the CL that season too. Shame you were cheated out of the final as I think a massive club like Rangers deserved that inaugural CL trophy.
@@snfcbmf12799 yeah we were also halfway to winning 9 league trophies in a row in an era when Scottish football was great. I don't think rangers should be given the trophy as we didn't win it. A similar argument could be made about the 2008 UEFA cup final against zenit who were also match fixing to get to the final. Hopefully Scottish football gets a shake up and a huge investment or I cant see my team get a chance at it in the near future.
That Glasgow Rangers club no longer exists because they were financially cheating.
Celtic would've won more trophies if Rangers hadn't been cooking the books for so long
@@pauldrummond755 Indeed. It all comes down to the lack of TV money as home attendances and the club's brand itself aren't the problem.

Fenerbahce from Turkey did the same thing (and/or worse) for over 4 times during 2010-2011 of Turkish League season.
Bernard Tapie owned Adidas too
When will they expose Barcelona and Spanish national team doping during their dominance period
Lmao, they barely won their games 1-0 all the way into the final, it was also the 5 Barça players 4 Madrid and 1 athletics in that team during Barça and Madrid’s height of power of course they were bound to be good. If they had heavy up and downs then one could perhaps see things not adding.
Aww that guy who thought this was the biggest football scandal, I bet he exploded when he heard about the fifa bribery scandal
Wenger is a sore loser. I was in the stadium in Marseille every two weeks from 89 to 95... Chris Waddle and Abedi Pelé used to make love to the entire Monaco defense...As far as the match fixing goes, Marseille had a very small bench that year.. and teams in Ligue 1 used to play a very ruff game, especially against Marseille, the team to beat. Marseille requested to postpone the game against Valencienne and the league, most parisian, refused. The rest is history. Tapie tried to bribed some players not to win the game but to take it easy on the player. Is it wrong? Absolutely. Did Marseille pay for this? A great deal. 2 seasons in second division. If this happened in Italy, Marseille would have gotten maybe 6 pts taken away. Interestingly enough at half time the Valencienne President asked Tapie to just agree to a draw and he will stay silent. Tapie refused.. As far as the game against Milan goes, good luck trying to bribe Berlusconi out of a title. The guy does not need money. And to the Glasgow rangers fans.. You guys had a great team. I was at the stadium. Both games were intense and played hard. You did not win. Sorry.
the narrators voice is soothing
thank you for coming to my ted talk
Marseille had the quality in their team to not have needed that rubbish. They were good enough to win the game. Who knows what tapie was thinking of??
He imagined himself as French Berlusconi
