Are OM capable of taking advantage if PSG were to collapse in Ligue 1? The answer is probably yes but in Provence, we don't believe it for a second.
This weekend, OM took two points from PSG. The victory against Monaco combined with the Parisians' home draw against Nantes allowed this slight recovery. There are still seven points difference between the two teams, who find themselves in the first two places in Ligue 1. But the Ile-de-France club is not in the form of its life. If this is often enough to do the job in the championship, catastrophic results in the Champions League weigh on the morale of the troops, and create dissension in the group. Enough to create a stir in the next matches, and in particular the one to come on Friday against Auxerre? What if OM, finally conquering at home and so effective away, started to believe in a crazy comeback? This is not the trend in the Marseille city, at least in the columns of La Provence.
PSG out of reach, Provence has decided
The local daily, invited to look in particular at the beautiful Coupe de France poster which will see Saint-Etienne face Marseille, quite simply believes that this competition is the only chance of seeing OM win a title this season. Even without a European Cup against a PSG who are much less scary, Ligue 1 is out of reach. “ It would be better to end the year on a good note since the cup, which OM have not won since 1989, seems, a priori, the only possibility for the club to lift a trophy as PSG seems untouchable in the championship ( 7 points ahead) », Confided the journalist from La Provence Ludovic Ferro.
The only certainty is that the start of the season has visibly left its mark on the troops in Marseille. After a great start, the title was on everyone's lips against a PSG without Mbappé who seemed questionable for once. This is no longer the trend and OM are becoming smaller with already seven points behind after 13 days, the idea being more to secure a place on the podium than to boast about the title race in Ligue 1.
