The opposition between Panathinaikos and OM, during the third preliminary round of the Champions League, seems to be a trap for the Marseille club.
Third in the last Ligue 1 championship, Olympique de Marseille still has the hope of playing in the next Champions League. But to get its place in the group stage, the French club must first go through a duel against Panathinaikos. But this opposition against the Greek club, as part of the third preliminary round of the C1, could well turn into a real trap.
At least that’s what Grégory Schneider, who opened up on the channel on Wednesday The Team. ” The preliminary round of the Champions League is still the Bermuda triangle of French football. That is to say that we always say to ourselves ‘ah we have three places’. No. You have two places my big and you get flushed by Donetsk, you get flushed by Dutch people or by the first one who passes.”
“Hardly in the Champions League”
For the journalist Release, the Marseillais would therefore be advised to remain on their guard. ” Worried, yes. I can’t be confident about that. Then, Marseille is a team that is still struggling in the Champions League. We feel that it’s not quite their game, even if last year they were very good, it went to a post. But you feel that the structural and financial limits of the club still prohibit them from sitting at that table. It’s up to Marcelino’s players to thwart the Greek trap in the two matches scheduled for August 8 and 9.
