OM were beaten for the third time in a row in Ligue 1 on Saturday evening. After Lille and Brest, this time it was the relegated Ajaccio who dominated the Phocaeans. A setback that did not pass with the supporters but also with the captain of an evening, Mattéo Guendouzi.
Almost flat encephalogram with OM. The Marseillais completely missed their end of the season on the ground. Against the background of internal tensions with the departure of Igor Tudor but above all of disappointment after the loss of second place, Marseille completely let go on the ground. OM ended the season with three defeats in three games. If the first was not shameful in Lille, the following two highlight a freewheeling team. The home defeat against Brest was already borderline but OM hit rock bottom on Saturday. The Marseillais yielded to Ajaccio 1-0, against a formation already relegated to Ligue 2 and which remained on a series of 10 defeats in the last 12 games.
Marseille players unworthy of OM
Ajaccien’s last success dates back to February 26 against Troyes. Apart from ESTAC, Ajaccio had only beaten Angers in 2023. It therefore looks like a famous snub for OM, very dull on the lawn of François-Coty. The supporters were not mistaken, those who challenged the players after the meeting. The captain of the evening, Mattéo Guendouzi, went to meet them. He did not want to hide despite the debacle and this was also the case at the microphone of Amazon Prime Video. His words, to the team and to himself, were strong.
😱 Mattéo Guendouzi: “We have to assume that we don’t deserve to wear the OM jersey right now!”

“ My discussion with the supporters? Nothing special, except that you have to assume: you don’t deserve to wear the OM jersey. We didn’t have a good match, recently the results have been catastrophic. In a match like that, you had to show a minimum of pride, we didn’t manage to do it. We are Olympique de Marseille, we are not allowed to chain defeats against teams that are normally less strong. So, we don’t put everything on the pitch, there is a lack of intensity, players make mistakes, we are a team and we have to assume, our end of the season is very bad. We are all in the same basket, we have to know how to assume, we showed a bad image of OM “, he dropped. A clear observation, certainly a little moderated by the weak repercussions on OM. This will at least have the merit of showing an involved Guendouzi, who could leave the Marseille club according to the latest rumors.
