OM, the tribute to the boss

Two years ago, Bernard Tapie, the most popular president of Olympique de Marseille, died. October 3 also remained in the memory of Mathieu Valbuena.

On October 3, 2021, Bernard Tapie died at the age of 78. Two years later, the name of the former president of Olympique de Marseille comes back strongly on the occasion of this commemoration.

The Provençal club obviously made un new tribute, this Tuesdaywhile the current president, Pablo Longoria, has just experienced serious shocks.

The Spanish leader is light years away from the immense popularity that Bernard Tapie enjoyed with the 1993 Champions League as his peak.

Mathieu Valbuena also keeps October 3 in his heart. It was in 2007 and the attacking midfielder had scored the only splendid goal for Liverpool-OM (0-1) in the Champions League. A Marseille team coached by Belgian Erik Gerets.
