Will OM fall even lower during the last two days of Ligue 1? Everything is possible as the Marseille club is experiencing a nightmare season. Despite the second budget for the French championship, the most expensive recruit in history (Paixao) and an absolutely staggering salary scale (Kondogbia at 450,000 euros per month, Aubameyang at 350,000), the successive managers, coaches and players of the Phocéens have led a demolition business at the expense of their supporters. Without a vibrant Stade Vélodrome, there would have been no club for a long time…
With a fourth defeat in six matches, Saturday afternoon in Nantes (3-0), OM have more than lost their footing in the race for qualification in the Champions League. Habib Beye’s team falls to 7th position, overtaken by AS Monaco, while OL and Losc, tied in 3rd place, are still four points ahead before playing their match on the 32nd day. The Marseillais are not qualified for any European Cup for the moment.
Three former OM players score
At La Beaujoire, facing the penultimate in the standings, OM, unable to control the proceedings of the match, suffered defensively before conceding goals from Ignatius Ganago (50th), Rémy Cabella (54th) and Matthis Abline (58th) at the start of the second half. Cabella had only scored one goal with the Canaries since his arrival during the winter, it was already against OM, his club from 2015 to 2018, on January 4.
The humiliation is total since two former OM players had already shaken the Marseille nets during the last two weekends: Bamba Dieng with FC Lorient (2-0), he the striker revealed with Ciel et Blanc in 2020, and Elye Wahi with a panenka for OGC Nice (1-1). OM had already conceded a goal from one of its former players in three matches in a row, but that dates back 75 years, as indicated by the X account
Football Stats. Fortunately for OM, no player from Le Havre, the next opponent, came through Canebière…
