Crossing the Channel definitely does not succeed at Ciel et Blanc. The sky fell on the heads of the Marseillais on Thursday evening in Brighton. While heading towards a draw which would have allowed them to retain first place in their group and therefore advance directly to the round of 16 of the Europa League, Olympique de Marseille were struck down in the final moments of the meeting and will therefore have to go through the play-offs.
This defeat confirms the difficulties of the Marseille club in England. OM have not won any of their last eight matches played across the Channel, posting a meager draw for seven defeats.
