Mathieu Valbuena received a hot welcome from the Marseille support as he returned to Stade Velodrome with Lyon on Sunday night.
The playmaker enjoyed cult status with the Provence club during his eight-year spell in Marseille but departed in 2014 for Dinamo Moscow.
Marseille fans felt he left for Russia purely due to financial reasons and were unhappy with his attitude as a result. He moved back to France with Ligue 1 this summer, and Sunday night's trip back to the Velodrome was his first since leaving.
Prior to Sunday’s Olympico – the fixture between the two clubs – an effigy of the France international was hanged in front of the fans in Marseille’s Virage Sud and the player received incredible jeers when his name was read out before kick off and during the game. .
