A defeat which pushes the Marseillais back in the standings, who are provisionally in third position behind Paris Saint-Germain and their Saturday evening opponent Racing Club de Lens. Established in defense, Benjamin Pavard has not had his best match since his arrival at the club.
The French international is at fault for both Sang et Or goals. The first where he causes the penalty scored by Odsonne Edouard and the second where he propels a corner hit by Adrien Thomasson into his own net.
After the game, on his social networks, the 2018 world champion wanted to apologize to his partners but especially to the Olympian supporters. “ Marseille supporters, I'm sorry. This defeat is for me, I made mistakes and I take full responsibility for them. When you wear this jersey, you have to be impeccable, and this evening I was not. I promise you that I will give everything to regain your trust and to honor this jersey. Thank you for your support, even in difficult times. We will get back together, together.” he launched on the social network Instagram.
Also at fault against Sporting
It's a delicate week for Benjamin Pavard both on a collective and individual level. The former Inter Milan player was also unlucky during the third day of the Champions League against Sporting Portugal.
Indeed, it is he who deflects the ball into his own net for the second for the Portuguese team. The former Bayern Munich player will be keen to redeem himself this Wednesday when they host SCO Angers at the Vélodrome stadium for the 10th day of L1.
