Olympique de Marseille hit hard on Saturday in Le Havre. The day after the draw conceded by PSG against Strasbourg (3-3), OM effectively crushed the Norman club on their lawn (6-2), at the same time seizing the lead in the championship with one point ahead of their rival from the capital.
The chaotic start to the Ciel et Blanc season seems a long way off and the five consecutive victories in Ligue 1 inevitably excite supporters and certain observers. This is particularly the case of Eric Di Meco, for whom OM is “clearly a candidate for the title”as he said at the microphone of RMC.
But not all Marseille residents share this optimism. This is evidenced by the exit of Samir Nasri on Tuesday on the Canal Football Club set after the impressive victory won by PSG on the pitch of Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League (2-7).
“OM and PSG do not play in the same division”
“OM and PSG do not play in the same division”,
he said, adding: “At the start of the season, apart from Bayern Munich, I don't see anyone capable of competing with PSG. »
And this weekend, Bixente Lizarazu was just as reserved about the ability of the Marseillais to compete with the Parisian scarecrow.
“They look like a serious candidate for qualification for the Champions League. For me, Paris, even if it doesn't show at the moment, remains the unbeatable team. Even if it’s not visible at the moment because of the changes,” he confided.
