Former Olympique Lyonnais goalkeeper Rémy Vercoutre, now living in Dubai, described a strange atmosphere, with missile interceptions audible and visible, three days after Israeli-American strikes and Iranian reprisals began.

According to Le Progres, the Frenchman has been based in the United Arab Emirates since autumn and spent a night in his basement car park.

Since Saturday, the country has been targeted, like other Gulf states, by Iran because of the presence of foreign military bases.

He is not particularly anxious about the situation.

Vercoutre played for OL from 2002 to 2014.
