Sources added that Moffi has been put on sick leave for a week and Boga for five days. The pair were both punched, spat at, kicked and insulted by the Ultras, according to people who were at the scene on the Boulevard Jean-Luciano where the team bus had brought players and staff back from the airport after returning from Lorient.
There are few mascots in world football as instantly recognisable as Mefi the eagle of OGC Nice, who mirrors the club's crest and performs a dramatic flight around the Allianz Riviera before kick-off. The spectacle was once again on show ahead of Nice's Europa League clash with AS Roma on Thursday, but what was supposed to be a display of power and pride quickly turned into a far more comical scene.
