Corrected 4-0 on the lawn of the Parc des Princes, OM could nevertheless curse after the big opportunity missed by Vitinha at the start of the match.

Olympique de Marseille did not see the light of day against PSG on Sunday. Undermined by an internal crisis, the Ciel et Blanc were swept aside 4-0 on the pitch at the Parc des Princes after a one-sided encounter. The Marseillais also easily recognized the superiority of the Parisians.

The Phocaeans nevertheless had one big regret: the opportunity missed by Vitinha on a golden serve from Jonathan Clauss while PSG still only led by one goal. Perfectly found by the former Lensois, the Portuguese striker sent his header onto the crossbar. OM’s luck had passed.

“The scenario is that we concede a goal at the start of the match on an off-center free kick, but we could have come back behind with the action of Vitinha. Would that have changed the appearance of the match? It’s possible. But it must also be said that we came across a Paris team which is very strong, and which is one of the best in Europe”confided Jacques Abardonado after the meeting.
