OM lost to PSG on penalties on Thursday in Kuwait City, as part of the traditional Champions Trophy. This not without having led to the score of 87e at the 95e
minute… Obviously, the scenario leaves the Marseillais with bitter regrets. And immeasurable frustration among supporters who have been waiting for a title for their favorite club since 2012.
Roberto De Zerbi himself admitted after the match to having cried in the locker room for the first time in his coaching career. And some players not to be outdone, like Facundo Medina also in tears and Matt O’Riley who on social networks saw fit to apologize to the fans.
In the eye of the storm for having been involved in the fateful action of the Parisian equalizer signed Gonçalo Ramos at the end of added time – then guilty of losing the ball in the opposing penalty area, in the duel with Willian Pacho, while a direct attempt or a gain of time seemed more appropriate at this moment of the match, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in turn had to break the silence.

Copiously insulted or at least attacked on the networks, the Gabonese striker shared a post by way of clarification – photo taken at the moment when OM scored their second goal of the evening in support: “ If you understand the level of joy in this photo, then understand the level of disappointment in the defeat, the final bad choice, and everything that follows.
