With a lighter schedule, newfound momentum and the expertise of De Zerbi, OM can still dream of the title despite the gap with PSG.
At mid-season, Olympique de Marseille is in second place in the championship with 36 points in 17 days. This total, the best since the 2014-2015 season, testifies to a newfound regularity and seriousness. However, the gap with Paris Saint-Germain remains significant: 10 points separate the two clubs before the match against Strasbourg this Sunday.
For observers, this chasm seems impassable. But appearances are sometimes deceiving, and OM has objective reasons to believe in a stunning scenario. The dynamic of the team, driven by the arrival of Roberto De Zerbi and a series of convincing performances, fuels the hope of a fierce fight until the last day.
Believing in such a feat does not only depend on the Marseillais. A reduction in performance by PSG, focused on its European objective, could offer a unique opportunity. But to do this, Marseille will have to maintain its pace and avoid the gaps which have sometimes slowed it down in the past. The lessons of the Bielsa era are still remembered: promising at the start of the season, OM collapsed in the return phase.
