OM may harbor regrets. While they led 0-1 against Sporting Lisbon, thanks to a goal from Paixao, and controlled the proceedings, Roberto De Zerbi's men ended up cracking after the expulsion of Emerson Palmieri at the end of the first period.
During the second act, the Marseillais tried to defend their advantage, in vain. Cornered, they finally conceded two goals (69e and 86e) and conceded their second defeat in three days of the Champions League.
The Olympian team thus confirmed its difficulties far from its bases in C1. In fact, she recorded a 12e
defeat in its last 13 trips made in the most prestigious of European competitions, as the account recalls Football Stats.
A defense that takes water from the outside
It was also against Sporting that the Marseillais sought their last away victory in the Champions League. It was under the orders of Igor Tudor, on October 12, 2022. The Ciel et Blanc won 0-2, with goals from Mattéo Guendouzi and Alexis Sanchez.
It must be said that the Phocaeans are not making their task easy away from the Vélodrome. With at least 2 goals conceded in 12 of their last 14 trips to the Champions League, Marseille can hardly hope for better.
