There will be no supporters on the Stade Velodrom’s Visage Nord when Marseille take on Tottenham Hotspur in a crucial Champions League group stage encounter on Tuesday.

The section of the stadium which houses the club’s ultras will be closed following an incident involving Marseille fans during September’s clash with Eintracht Frankfurt.

But that hasn’t stopped OM’s fans from creating an intense atmosphere outside the stadium prior to kick-off.

The Ligue 1 club need to win if they are to advance to the knockout phase, and the locals reportedly kept the Spurs players awake by setting off fireworks outside the visiting team’s hotel in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

And they appear to have saved some pyrotechnics to greet the two teams upon their arrival at the stadium too.

Bonfire night came early in the south of France this year.
