Last preparation match and dive into the preliminary round of the Champions League, the OM players are seriously entering the new season.
Breaking the good feelings expressed about the transfer window, OM must now demonstrate that their new team is well worth the compliments heard for a few weeks about recruitment.
On Wednesday evening, Marcelino and his players will play a last friendly match, in front of their public at the Stade Vélodrome against the Germans of Bayern Leverkusen (kick-off at 8:45 p.m.).
It will be time after to get into competition mode, and not just any competition.
OM and their new faces (Geoffrey Kondogbia, Renan Lodi, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Ismaïla Sarr, and Iliman Ndiaye as announced), will enter the Champions League stage on Tuesday August 8 or Wednesday August 9, for the 3rd round preliminary go.
