For Rudi Garcia, OM would have ruined everything by keeping Bafétimbi Gomis.
Now recently retired, Bafétimbi Gomis has left very good memories at OM… On loan at the time from Swansea, the French international had delivered a 20-goal season in Ligue 1. Enough to bring the Phocaeans back to the Europa League, however, the Marseille leaders at the time did not buy Bafé. The latter therefore left for Galatasaray. Obviously, Rudi Garcia still has this regret…
Rudi Garcia's regrets about Bafé
“With Bafétimbi Gomis? I am convinced that we would have won Ligue 1 and the Europa League”
In Carré, Rudi Garcia affirmed that if OM had kept Bafétimbi Gomis, the 2017/2018 season would have been a shower of titles. “You asked me if I had a regret at OM, it’s him. Because he left after his first season, we were unable to give him the importance he needed. If we had kept him, I am convinced that we would have won Ligue 1 and the Europa League. I say it like I mean it. He was a good captain, he thought well about the game. He is intelligent and an outstanding scorer. assured Rudi Garcia.
