A bizarre story in France has seen a supporter sentenced to time behind bars after attending a youth cup match
A rather bizarre story has emerged out of France, with a supporter that attended a youth cup match between Paris Saint-Germain and Club Athletic Lisieux Pays d'Auge being sentenced to two months in jail for allegedly pretending to be a PSG player.
Ouest-France has reported on a 28-year-old male being put behind bars after trying to pass himself off as a professional sportsman.
That ruling was delivered by the criminal court of Lisieux (Calvados) on April 28, with a baffling episode being brought to a close by the relevant authorities.

Why has the supporter been put in jail?
On December 14, 2021, the man in question attended a Coupe Gambardella match featuring PSG against a home-town side from Lisieux.
Having decided to make that trip, an opportunity was snapped up to spend two nights in a Norman town hall.
The problem was, the imposter did not want to pay and set about piecing together an elaborate scam.
When checking out of the establishment in question, a man that reportedly already has 12 legal convictions to his name informed staff that he was a PSG player and that they should contact his agent in order for the bill to be settled.
Once it became apparent that he had given a fake number and was not who he was making out to be, the hotel immediately filed a complaint for damages of €227.40.

I was at the pet shop looking for a dog. I spotted a dog in the corner named MESSl. He looked finished so I was going to buy him since his value was low. I asked how much he cost but was told MESSl wasn't for sale. The worker said "Sorry but MESSl is already Ronaldo's dog"...

Today at Eibar's training, a mask-covered dwarf appeared and he terrorizes the Eibar players in their training. He scored 6 goals against them until Eibar management called the police on him. He is now in hiding and the police are still looking for th Eibar penalty stealer. According to the Eibar players, they think it is the evil Eibarman. At the request of the police, they have resumed their training and the police are in hiding ready to arrest Eibarman if he shows up again
