Olympique de Marseille experienced a disillusionment this Saturday against Lens at the Vélodrome. After dominating the meeting, the Phocaeans bowed (0-1) at home at the very end of the match, on a goal from El Aynaoui (90+4 ′).
This scenario recalls that of Paris Saint-Germain, beaten Wednesday by Liverpool in the round of 16 go to the Champions League (0-1). Parisians had outraged their opponents in all areas, but that was without counting on the start of the young Harvey Elliott, who, in a few minutes, offered the Reds victory over one of their rare occasions.
The common point between OM and PSG
And according to OM midfielder Valentin Rongier, the Marseillais encountered the same problem as their Parisian rivals: a lack of concentration. Like the Parisian defense, which was less alert after the release of Mohamed Salah, the men of Roberto de Zerbi lacked vigilance against the Lensois.
“It was the danger, to control too much and not to remain vigilant until the end on the losses of the ball. It was their game plan, it was clear, we knew it. We were concentrated 90 minutes but we unfortunately take this goal. We are going to see the head with a rested head but what is certain is that we could not keep our concentration to the end and that is what costs us the three points ”judged the native of Mâcon.
