So yes, some will say that Olympique de Marseille managed to maintain their lead until the end of the match this time. But at what cost?
Without two extremely limited offside positions, the Marseille club would never have pocketed the three points of victory on Tuesday evening, during the sixth day of the league phase of the Champions League, against Union Saint-Gilloise. Daniel Riolo is worried about the rest of the season for the team coached by Roberto De Zerbi.
“This OM lacks character. Why do they concede yet another goal so quickly? And above all: why, when you lead 3-1, are you going to put yourself under terrible stress and come back like this? Because before the first goal was disallowed, we all saw the 3-3 coming. And if it’s not a millimeter of offside that takes it away from you, it’s there.”underlined the sports journalist on RMC airwaves after the meeting.

It’s really the goal conceded by a team which panics, which retreats, which freaks out. We are typically on a team which, mentally, is not capable of definitively killing a match. »
Sunday, Leonardo Balerdi and his teammates will welcome AS Monaco to the Orange Vélodrome, for the 16th day of Ligue 1. A new life-size test for the Marseille club.
