The defeat of Olympique de Marseille at Brighton (0-1) marks a halt in the progress of the Marseille club.
Olympique de Marseille missed the boat. While a draw was enough for Marseillais to secure their place in the round of 16 of the Europa League, they will ultimately have to go through the play-off box after the defeat conceded on the Brighton pitchThursday (0-1).
Called to react to this disillusionment, Jordan Veretout did not hide his disappointment. “We are sad. It was a difficult game against a very good Brighton team. We conceded a goal at the last minute. It’s a shame, we wanted to stay first, that’s what we came for. But we finish 2nd, we will have one more round to play. We have regrets even though Brighton had possession of the ball throughout the match. But we have the big chances, with Amine Harit’s post, Jonathan Clauss’ cross in the first half and other situations that we can manage better.“.
Veretout is nevertheless diving back into OM’s national games for the end of 2023. “ We have to raise our heads, there are two very important matches left before the break“. As a reminder, Olympique de Marseille will face Clermont this Sunday, before challenging Montpellier on Wednesday, for its last outing before the winter break.
