Veteran goalkeeper Fabien Barthez confirmed on Monday he would not be playing again for Ligue 1 strugglers Nantes.The 35-year-old 1998 World Cup winner was attacked by a group of Les Canaris fans as he was driving out of the club´s training ground on Saturday night, hours after a 2-0 home defeat to Rennes. He ended up trading blows with a supporter who had attempted to get inside the Porsche as other fans were seen punching and kicking the vehicle.Barthez told radio station France Info: "I will not play for Nantes again. What happened went beyond the scope of sport. It has nothing to do with football. I no longer feel safe there and it´s better for me to leave."
