Winner of Lyon 3-1, PSG made a hole in the standings this weekend. After 15 days of Ligue 1, the Parisians are 7 points ahead of their runners-up from Marseille. The title of French champion already seems to be decided, except for Pascal Olmeta.
In a weekend of numerous draws in Ligue 1, the teams at the top of the table neutralized each other. The race for the podium has barely changed, but the race for the title has. The only club in the top 7 to win its match, Paris SG took a 7-point lead over OM and AS Monaco. Even if there are 19 matches left to play, the Parisians have taken a serious option for a new national crown. It’s difficult to see the Parisian club crumbling in 2025 when it doesn’t lose a match in Ligue 1. Monaco can regain hope on Wednesday evening by welcoming PSG in an advanced match of the 16th day. However, Pascal Olmeta is still betting on Olympique de Marseille.
A serious and armed OM for the title
The former goalkeeper of the Olympian club keeps repeating that the title of champion of France will go to Marseille next summer. This is not chauvinism or a posture to seduce Marseille supporters. Olmeta’s analysis is intended to be sincere and is based on the information he has internally. On RMC, he underlined the seriousness of OM and the great involvement of the players. The arrival of Pogba is not even essential. He believes that the current squad is capable of going very high and very far this season.
« Nothing is missing when I tell you that OM will end up champion of France. You don’t believe me! There’s no need to even recruit. I have the chance to chat with someone from the staff. […] They have a lot of people, there are young people who are coming up and who will finish this season with the group. If they decided to leave (to Denmark) it was to find themselves and that is not given to everyone. This means that everything works perfectly: defensively, midfield, attackers. […] There was a time when some players arrived exactly on time for training. Today, the players arrive three quarters of an hour early. That’s real football, it’s a strength. When I say OM champion, I really wonder if I’m kidding… “, he said in Rothen ignites. Will this be enough to make Pascal Olmeta’s dream come true? Not sure but OM is finally giving itself the means to achieve its lofty ambitions.
