PSG-Arsenal final blunders hilariously mocked in Cazarre show
The latest episode of Les Nuits du Cazarre enchaîné on RMC Sport took aim at the glaring errors made by commentators during the UEFA Champions League final, where PSG triumphed over Arsenal in a penalty shootout. The show spared no one in its lighthearted critique of the broadcasting blunders.
On Saturday, May 30th, the entire football world—and especially the French sports media—turned their attention to the UEFA Champions League final. Paris Saint-Germain claimed victory over Arsenal in a nail-biting 1-1 draw, followed by a dramatic penalty shootout. While fans celebrated, Julien Cazarré and his team on Les Nuits du Cazarre enchaîné were already preparing a different kind of highlight reel.
The show’s humorist, Jean-Christophe Drouet, took center stage to dissect the most egregious mistakes made by commentators tasked with covering the high-stakes match. The segment didn’t just poke fun—it exposed how some journalists struggled to keep up with the action, often misidentifying players and mixing up key details.
One commentator from Ici Paris was caught confusing Kai Havertz—the first scorer for Arsenal at the 6th minute—with Leandro Trossard, even going so far as to mispronounce his name as “Tossard.” Meanwhile, a commentator from RMC Sport (the same network airing Les Nuits du Cazarre enchaîné, no less) topped the blunder by mistaking Havertz for Declan Rice, a defensive midfielder. “Were the commentators’ booths even in the stadium?” Cazarré quipped, while Drouet joked that they must have been watching a completely different match—“Arsenal-Ipswich in the League Cup,” he suggested.
The mockery didn’t stop there. The show also highlighted a commentator’s baffling substitution of the phrase “faire le dos rond” (to hold firm defensively) with “faire le gros dos” (to make the big back). The list of errors didn’t end there, as the hosts gleefully pointed out the overuse of “contre-pied parfait” (perfect reverse pass), a phrase now deemed outdated by football purists.
With the World Cup on the horizon, Cazarré and Drouet announced a new initiative: “Balance ton com’,” urging listeners to report any further commentator blunders. If the Champions League final was any indication, the next tournament promises plenty of material for laughs—or at least, plenty of reasons to cringe.
