Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had it bad after his missed opportunity shortly before the break, the Gabonese crossing his shot too much while he had the winning goal at the end of his foot.
Olympique de Marseille had big regrets after their draw (1-1) against Atalanta Bergamo in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final. Because if the Lombard club opened the scoring in the first minutes of the match, the Ciel et Blanc quickly equalized and pushed hard to win this first leg. In vain. Jean-Louis Gasset’s men, however, had several opportunities, first and foremost the face-to-face between Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Juan Musso.
Served in depth by Amine Harit, the former Gunner crossed his shot too much and missed the opportunity to put OM in front. To his great chagrin. “He’s a great striker and like all great strikers, when they miss a big chance, they blame themselvesAmine Harit told RMC at the end of the meeting. He wants to put them all at the bottom, he put a lot in this year so we’re going to say thank you anyway for what he did before. »
Aubameyang was ‘pissed’
This missed opportunity does not, however, call into question the great trust the Gabonese enjoys from his teammates. “I don’t even worry, hit the Moroccan international about his attacking partner. If he has a second one like that in the second leg, he will put it at the bottom. He was angry because he always seeks perfection but we have 200% confidence in him.”
The Marseillais nonetheless harbored great regrets after this draw given the appearance of the match. “Feelings are mixed. There is a bit of regret at not having won this first leg, especially since we had the opportunityunderlined the former Nantes resident. We hurt them with a lot of chances. We will have to build on what we did well this evening to put in a big match in the return. Everything will be played out there in Italy. »
