LYON ultras have blasted Chelsea defender Malo Gusto as one of “three little b*****s” who left the club.
Fans humiliated their flops in a public confrontation following Sunday’s 4-1 home mauling by PSG.
But supporters were especially scathing of a trio of French starlets who landed big moves away this year.
Gusto arrived at Stamford Bridge in January for £31million and was loaned back to Lyon for the rest of last season.

Central defender Castello Lukeba, 20, joined RB Leipzig and PSG pounced for £43m winger Bradley Barcola, 21.
Lyon fans were particularly furious at Laurent Blanc’s men trailing 4-0 at half-time in Ligue 1 over the weekend.
And after defeat, the club’s ‘Bad Gones’ supporters’ group – aka the ‘capo’ – unveiled a banner demanding “leaders” within the team speak out.
The message read: “If there are leaders in the locker room, they no longer have the right to remain silent.”

The Lyon squad then walked to the main stand to receive a dressing-down.
One fan representing the ultras told players they “don’t have the right to tarnish” the team shirt that former stars had “glorified”.
He added: “Now that the transfer window is over, the squad is here. All we ask is to be by your side.
“But to do that, you’re going to have to earn it. We love and respect this shirt.
“There’s only one other thing we ask: to sing your names. Sing them with love, not like we sang the names of the little b*****s. who have left our club in the last six months.
“We want to sing your names with respect, with love. Because we know you play with love.”
In a later statement the capo added: “Lukeba and Barcola, where is your dignity and your respect when a few weeks after proclaiming the love of your club and the supposed journey that you still have to make under this jersey, you succumb as if by magic to the ringing and stumbling sirens of another club?
“Are you playing the Lyonnais at heart card? You are just paper Lyonnais that our memory will forget as quickly as possible without forgiving your lack of respect.

“Contrary to the club’s communication, which is silly and inappropriate, we wish you an obscure career, polishing the sidelines.
“May your bank account be as well stocked as the feeling of contempt you inspire in us.”
