According to La Provence, skirmishes erupted last night between fans of the two teams.
The newspaper notes that Lazio have a fringe of far-right fans, while supporters of l’OM are militantly anti-fascist.
The visiting supporters are said to have dressed in black, with some carrying sticks and knives, with around 80 fans from each side clashing in front of the Center-Bourse, a commercial area near Canebière and the port.
Police used tear gas to disperse the fighting fans, with three minor injuries, two for Italian men.
A police source said that trouble started after 60-80 Lazio fans had left a hotel and marched toward the Vieux-Port at 22.00, with no arrests made.
