After its big victory against Le Havre (5-1), this Sunday evening, at home, Olympique de Marseille is still 2nd in the French championship standings, still 7 points behind the undefeated leader, PSG (1ᵉʳ), which seems quite prohibitive for dreaming of a champion title.
On RMCthe former midfielder of the French capital club has in any case indicated that he does not believe in a possible comeback from the Marseille club for the L1 this season: “There’s not just a little gap. (…) Regarding the balance of power with Paris Saint-Germain, we did not think that it could be reversed, but that Marseille would be able to compete with PSG, if only in one match, especially at the Vélodrome. And we all took it in our heads (the 0-3, editor's note): that is to say that there are two gaps. (…) The squad (of OM) is much better than last year. (…) But I don’t believe for a single second that with this squad, PSG can be in difficulty. (…) The (Marseille) players are not at the level of those of PSG. »
Dominated in the first 20 minutes, then reduced to 10 from the 21st, OM took on water against PSG, in the first leg, but let's wait for the return match, at the Parc des Princes, to observe the possible progress of the Roberto De Zerbi's team. As for the title, on the other hand, it actually seems over, and OM should rather watch the teams behind their backs, like AS Monaco (3rd) and LOSC (4th).
