Olympique de Marseille, with an ambitious transfer window, has the hope of securing a place in the Champions League at the end of the season. Second in the Ligue 1 standings after 13 days, the Marseille club, buoyed by a recent victory against AS Monaco (2-1), inspires optimism among many observers, including Tony Cascarino.
In an interview given to Provencethe former Irish striker, who wore the colors of OM between 1994 and 1996, did not hide his regret at not seeing the Marseillais in the European Cup this season. However, he remains convinced that qualification in C1 is within their reach.
“Not having Marseille in C1 is always strange”
“I find it hard to imagine teams that would be better than OM in the first three places. So yes, I think the Champions League is accessible for the club. Not having Marseille in C1 is always strange for me because I always thought it should be there. (…) I think that a club like OM is missing from European football or the Champions League,” Cascarino judged.
Roberto De Zerbi’s men will look to continue their momentum this Sunday, with a trip to AS Saint-Étienne for the 14th day of Ligue 1. A victory would allow them to consolidate their place as runner-up to Paris Saint-Étienne. Germain before welcoming Lille on December 14.
