For its comeback in the Champions League, OM believed in the feat of the lawn of Real Madrid. Courageous, daring, the Marseillais have long stood up before giving in (2-1) on two penalties transformed by Kylian Mbappé. Already a decisive ball on the foot, the French international then made people speak in front of the microphones, delivering an analysis which did not fail to react.
“Even new, we would have won”
On Canal+, Mbappé explained that he had never doubted the outcome of the match, even after the expulsion of Carvajal. “We knew that in the Bernabéu, even ten, even new, we would always have our moment”, he launched, sure of himself. An exit which, behind his apparent confidence, sounds like a form of condescension towards OM, reduced to being only a passenger obstacle on the road to Real.
Because beyond the double inscribed, Mbappé tackled Marseille verbally. Already used to punishing OM in French classics, he has extended his habit in other colors. This kind of sentence necessarily fuels the feeling of arrogance that sometimes sticks to her skin, especially in the face of an adversary who had however shown heart and quality.
A habit at Mbappé
On the Marseille side, frustration dominates. The Phocaeans have marked the spirits by their audacity and their frank opportunities, but leave empty -handed. The duel failed by Aubameyang against Courtois and fatal defensive errors nourish regrets. And seeing Mbappé implicitly minimize their performance will not fail to stir up a little more rivalry.
After making the nets tremble, Mbappé does not hesitate to shake the susceptibilities. Perhaps it is his way of asserting himself, perhaps an assumed arrogance that accompanies her status as a world star. The fact remains that, facing Marseille, he succeeded in a perfect double: on the ground as behind the microphone.
