Most of the Marseille supporters lived a very complicated weekend. Consequence of PSG's victory in the Champions League final against Inter Milan. While the Marseillais were ready to celebrate a success of the Nerazzuri, the club of the capital corrected its opponent 5-0, plunging the people of Marseille in disarray.
A native of Avignon and a great supporter of Olympique de Marseille, Benoit Paire did not vibrate at all in front of the show offered by the troops of Luis Enrique. “In any case in Marseille, we do not feel European champion, we are not”he said to the RMC microphone.
However, the old 18e World player did not fail to salute the victory of the Parisians. “Paris deserves its title, they were exceptional, they played very well. We must also admit when a team plays football well, they dominated the Champions League in the second half of the season. Bravo in Paris, I am a supporter of Marseille, it hurts but well done Paris ”he said.
Benoit Paire does not believe in repercussions for OM
And if the leaders of French football have not failed to rejoice in this coronation of PSG, believing that this victory of the Red and Blue will have positive consequences on all of French football, Benoit Paire is much more circumspect on possible benefits.
“It saddens us and we're not going to do like: 'great for OM'”he meant, adding: “We cannot compete with PSG and the money they put. Reduce the gap, we are already trying. This year, we already had a great team with Rabiot, Hojbjerg, Rongier, Gouiri. It's still a great season. Rivating with PSG, for the moment, it's impossible. I hope we will do it little by little but today we cannot compete with this team. »»
