Olympique de Marseille has perfectly prepared its reception of Ajax Amsterdam on Tuesday in the Champions League. Four days after their minimalist success in the classic, the men of Roberto de Zerbi went to win 2-1 in Strasbourg thanks to a goal from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the last minutes of the meeting.
Led to the start of the last quarter, OM got away with it by managing to overthrow its host in the last minutes of the meeting. Especially since certain arbitral decisions have been clearly favorable to them.
Already warned, Nayef Argued has indeed escaped a second warning by a second warning with Emanuel Emegha, Jérémie Pignard, the referee of the meeting wrongly sanctioning the Strasbourg striker. “The Marseillais seems to be lacking first. Emegha went alone to the goal. I did not review the action, but for me it deserved a second yellow for Aguerd. It's a key moment “also railed Liam Rosenior, the Alsatian coach, at the end of the meeting.
Two games favorable to OM
And for the journalist Nabil Djellit, the anger of the Strasbourg is more than legitimate. “Aguerd could have been expelled, Pavard's hand should have been run by the Var. OM is doing well in terms of arbitration … “he wrote on X in reference to a hand of the tricolor world champion in the area.
This controversy comes when Thursday, Ligue 1+, the championship broadcaster, had published a video in which Marquinhos and Fabian Ruiz complained to Jérémie Brisard, the classic referee, of his too great leniency with regard to the Marseille players, guilty of series in series.
“” It continues, from the start, it's like that. They are still late. You need a good answer because otherwise it is not possible. It's all the time, they made 10 faults. You gave them a box, they made 10 faults ”,
had deplored the Parisian captain with the man with the whistle.
