"Adrien Rabiot has hit back at the reports and comments that suggested a lot of violence was involved in his disagreement with Jonathan Rowe at Marseille. It was after Marseille's opening game in the 2025-26 season that Rabiot and Rowe got into things in the locker room, following a 1-0 defeat against Stade Rennes. Players had to come between the two and things were, according to reports, rather chaotic at that moment."
""I'm sad of course, because it shouldn't have ended like that. It's incomprehension that reigns, because the decision is incomprehensible to everyone. All the people I've spoken to, no one understood. And I didn't understand myself. "What bothered me is that they didn't tell the truth about me. I've never been a violent person. People know me. Everyone can testify to that. "I simply don't want them to give a bad image of me, but that's football life, life in general. We don't always control everything,""
After Marseille's opening 1-0 defeat to Stade Rennes, Adrien Rabiot and Jonathan Rowe clashed in the locker room with players intervening amid reports of chaos. Roberto De Zerbi described the scene as like a 'bar fight' and called it unprecedented in his career. Adrien Rabiot denied any violent behaviour, expressed sadness about the outcome, and criticised French media for misrepresenting his actions. Rabiot emphasised that people who know him could testify he is not violent and said he did not understand the disciplinary decision. AC Milan completed a transfer for Rabiot at the end of the window, where he has become a key performer.
