36 years without success, OM scandalizes Rothen
A final won 4-3 against Monaco at the time with a hat-trick from Jean-Pierre Papin. Moment of nostalgia for the followers of the Olympian club but a very embarrassing anecdote for Jérôme Rothen. The RMC consultant is appalled that a club like OM could have achieved such a bad series. For the former Parisian midfielder, Marseille must aim to win the French Cup this year.
« That should be the goal every year, I'm sorry. When you go so many years without winning trophies, fortunately the French Cup is a priority when your name is Olympique de Marseille as it is for Monaco, Lyon, Lille, Paris. […] It is an anomaly and even a scandal that Marseille has not won the French Cup since 1989. They lost finals, semi-finals, they took blows against amateur teams. Far too much. So, yes we must restore the situation “, he analyzed in Rothen s’enflame. Not an easy task when we know that PSG never abandons this competition, having won it 7 times over the last 10 years.
