Lyon have confirmed they have identified a fan accused of performing a Nazi salute during their 2-1 win over Manchester City in the Champions League group-stage opener on Wednesday and will ban him from games for life.
A video that circulated via social media showed a supporter raising his right arm, leading to a police investigation over an alleged hate crime.
In a statement, Lyon confirmed their security team had identified the man in question and reiterated that the fan will not be allowed to attend their games, either at Groupama Stadium or elsewhere.
