The hero of the evening, once again. Geronimo Rulli will enter the hearts of Olympique de Marseille supporters even more. The Marseille goalkeeper was one of the great architects of his team’s victory on the pitch at Stade Rennais, stopping a penalty from Arnaud Kalimuendo. Moreover, the Argentinian international became the very first goalkeeper to stop his first three penalties with OM in Ligue1 over the last 30 years. A major performance from the former Ajax Amsterdam player who is aiming for the top of the rankings and the undisputed and indisputable leader since the start of the season, Paris Saint-Germain.
“My mentality is to win and look up, so Paris”
With this new victory, Olympique de Marseille returned to just four points behind Paris Saint-Germain, while awaiting the result of Luis Enrique’s men against AS Saint-Etienne. A small gap in the ranking between the leader and his runner-up. Thus, this allows Geronimo Rulli to still believe in OM’s chances of winning the title at the end of the season: “I’m four points behind PSG. That’s my mentality, it’s to win and look up, so Paris. I’m not afraid to say it. We’re very happy because we made a very good match. We earned the respect of all the teams. They are all waiting for us in their half. he said in the mixed zone after the victory against Rennes.
To achieve this, Roberto De Zerbi’s protégés will have to continue at their cruising speed, particularly at the Vélodrome where OM struggled in this first half of the season. In addition, the second clasico of the season, on March 16, will probably be the turning point of the season for both clubs. In the first leg, PSG corrected its biggest rival on home turf (0-3). The time for revenge has come and Geronimo Rulli has let it be understood.
