Olympique de Marseille won at the end of the match against AS Monaco (2-1), thanks to a penalty from Mason Greenwood (89th), observed abroad.

The 98 world champion then individualized his criticisms: “The left side is slow… Poor Ulisses Garcia, he doesn't have the level. And next to him, there is (Adrien) Rabiot who is even slower and who only makes back passes. There is no risk taking. It's catastrophic. The number of technical fouls from Rabiot, (Mason) Greenwood… I'm sorry, but the OM match was catastrophic. Monaco gives the match away. We gave them both goals. (…) There is nothing. I'm sorry, but I didn't see anything. »
