On the pitch at Roazhon Park, Geronimo Rulli once again delivered a masterful performance to allow OM to leave with the three points. In addition to having made several big interventions, the Argentine goalkeeper stopped Arnaud Kalimuendo's penalty after half an hour of play. I have to say that he told me that if there was a penalty, he was going to stop it. In this way“, confessed Leonardo Balerdi after the meeting.
The 32-year-old goalkeeper saved his third penalty in a row, the first to achieve this feat in Ligue 1 since Pedrag Rajkovic during the 2019-2020 season with Stade de Reims. During this 2024-2025 campaign, no other goalkeeper managed to achieve a 3 out of 3 in the exercise.
Following the success obtained in Brittany, Rulli had clearly displayed his ambitions for the future. “ That's my mentality, I want to win. I'm not afraid to say it. We are very happy because we had a very good match. We earned the respect of all the teams. They are all waiting for us behind the midfield line. We played today at Stade Rennais, but it's the same in Marseille“, he explained.
