The classic between Olympique de Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain will remain like a symbolic turning point. For the first time in fourteen years, OM has folded its rival to the Vélodrome (1-0). A victory marked by a decisive error by Lucas Chevalier, a Parisian goalkeeper, who paved the way for Marseille goal. Under the fire of criticism, the porter ended up breaking the silence.
Lucas Chevalier assumes his decisive error
Chevalier chose to put on his share of responsibility by recognizing his error. The Parisian goalkeeper expressed his frustration and his disappointment, while affirming his determination to start from the front. “Disappointed not to have been able to bring this victory, but ready to leave”he said, a speech that is both lucid and imbued with the desire to bounce back.
This cruel blunder takes a particular resonance: at the same time, in Paris, the former porter Gianluigi Donnarumma received the Yachine Trophy for the best goalkeeper in the world. A striking contrast that has strengthened the pain of an evening already complicated for PSG. On the ground, Gerónimo Rulli, his Marseille counterpart, imposed itself in real wall.
The future already in line
Luis Enrique and his staff will quickly turn the page, because the Parisian calendar leaves no respite. As for Chevalier, he knows that the requirement of the post requires an immediate reaction. His MEA CULPA marks a necessary step, but only a convincing performance will regain public confidence.
