The elimination of OM on Sunday evening in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France made Bertrand Latour say that the club definitely missed its season.
Third in Ligue 1 last year, Olympique de Marseille hoped to return to the Champions League and embark on an exciting new season. But the C1 hopes of President Longoria’s men were nipped in the bud in the first half of August, at the time of the more than premature elimination in the third preliminary round of the Champions League, against Panathinaikos. Several adventures and a few months later, the road trip in the Coupe de France led some to say that the Marseille season was indeed a failure.
This Monday on the set of the channel The Team, Bertrand Latour has chosen to take stock of the OM season. And while there are still more than four months to play, the journalist felt that the Marseille club had missed out. “ For me, Marseille’s season is on the verge of being a failure, and they are doing that quite well. It started at the beginning of August with the elimination in the Champions League, which was OM’s main objective, against the terrible Pana team. It continued with a first phase of the championship where the objective is the podium, Marseille is not there. And there, the year begins with a competition where OM is eliminated in the Coupe de France. »
“Almost all the objectives are missed”
For the observer accustomed to biting analyses, the mass is therefore said for a Marseille team that he clearly does not see winning anything next May. “ Almost all the objectives are missed. There are two cards left: the Europa League and the podium at the end of the season. I tell you, they will not win the Europa League. » As for Ligue 1, OM are fifteen points behind the Parisian leader after eighteen days.
