“We're lucky”, the Marseillais salute the massive (and loud) presence of their supporters at Beaujoire

OM were able to count on the support of many supporters during their victory in Nantes this Sunday, at the end of the tenth day of Ligue 1 (2-1). Despite the travel ban on Marseille fans and an empty visitor park, Roberto De Zerbi's players were widely encouraged at Beaujoire.

Loud singing, clapping and a lot of shouting. In the absence of the ultras, many OM supporters still attended their team's victory on the Nantes pitch this Sunday, at the end of the tenth day of Ligue 1 (1-2). Despite the travel ban on Marseille fans and an empty visitor park, Roberto De Zerbi's players benefited from significant support at Beaujoire. Grouped in certain sectors of the stadium, the supporters of the Marseille club were vocal throughout the match. By managing to be heard on several occasions, despite the fervor of the members of the Loire Brigade gathered in their usual platform.

“To wear this jersey in France and to be followed everywhere in France, we are lucky”

The goals of Neal Maupay and Mason Greenwood were celebrated with a great clamor in the stands. “He who does not jump is not Marseillais” regularly came down from the stands. At the end of the match, the Marseille fans even sang “We are at home, we are at home” to celebrate their victory in the den of the Canaries. Enough to delight Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who welcomed this mobilization in rival territory. “I am very proud to be in this team. To wear this jersey in France and to be followed everywhere in France, we are lucky,” reacted the OM midfielder on DAZN.

At the final whistle, Neal Maupay approached the Marseille supporters to offer them his jersey. Geronimo Rulli, Leonardo Balerdi and Luis Henrique also came to thank the fans, some of whom lived in the Nantes region. Enough to find a smile again a week after the humiliation suffered against PSG (0-3) and the enormous bronca at the Vélodrome.
