Marseille have reportedly launched an investigation after comedian Redouane Bougheraba was depicted on a tifo ahead of their Ligue 1 clash with PSG.

A banner was unfurled by supporters prior to Sunday's Le Classique at the Stade Velodrome depicting the Champions League trophy.

The tifo was accompanied by the words 'forever the first', viewed as Marseille fans mocking rivals PSG for their failure to win the Champions League.

Marseille remain the sole French winners of Europe's elite competition, after triumphing back in 1993.

Club officials have reportedly been angered by the tifo, which did not feature a player with the trophy but instead French-Algerian comedian Bougheraba wearing a Marsielle shirt.
