Lyon fans had been given permission to travel to Paris, albeit with restrictions, but a rumour of a travel ban led them to cancel their vehicle reservations. When they were assured they could attend, there were no cars available. This meant that Paris FC were unable to sell the visitor's space, as they normally would when opposing fans are absent. The club also incurred additional costs due to the increased security personnel they had to deploy. In the end, a small group of OL staff members took their place in the visitor's area to watch the match.
