OM will not go to the Champions League

With performances like that provided on Saturday in Monaco, OM has a tiny chance of qualifying directly for the group stage of the Champions League.

They may descend sapped aircraft in costume, OM players do not enter the Smoking Champions League. A few weeks ago, the direct ticket for the C1 was just a matter of time for the Provencal team. Since a new rout, has suffered on Saturday in the Principality of Monaco (3-0-29th day of Ligue 1), Roberto de Zerbi's training may lose everything.

Because we do not see what springs will be able to activate the Italian coach, with limited tactical inspirations, and his extended staff. Almost 30 people around Zebi for such results…. At the Louis-II stadium, OM nevertheless achieved a first half hour more than promising. And a largely avoidable goal has obviously destroyed everything.

While Rulli had stopped two Biereth attempts, his defense remained head in the air. Minamino, off-topic until then, quietly resumed in empty cages (1-0, 34th). OM was not able to react despite a Monegasque training far from its peak in form this Saturday.

A Gruyère defense

With Rabiot and Rulli only at the level of a poster between the second and the third, the Marseille players had no weapons to overthrow the table. And when the goal was open, Luis Henrique managed to miss the frame two meters (42nd). ASM has not embarrassed. Embolo doubled the bet thanks to a generous Var (2-0, 59th) and Zakaria transformed a penalty, there too, questionable (3-0, 82nd).

In the absence of Balerdi (most likely injured until the end of the season), the Marseille defense, DIY and changing in each match, was still pointed out rightly. Beaten five times in the last seven championship days, OM has conceded three goals outside four times: Auxerre, Paris, Reims and Monaco. The Olympian training descends in third place in the ranking. The risk that this deteriorates is quite high.
