Olympique de Marseille hosts Atalanta Bergamo in the Europa League semi-final first leg, this Thursday (9 p.m.). A match to follow live with commentary!
It is at the end of this contrasting season that Olympique de Marseille will return to its big European evenings. A paradox which says a lot about the culture of this club. Stammering in Ligue 1, OM could write a new page in its history in the Europa League, a competition that French football has often snubbed. After Ajax Amsterdam in the group, then teams of the caliber of Shakhtar Donetsk, Villarreal or Benfica Lisbon, it is Atalanta which presents itself on the road to Marseille.
Make no mistake: if the Bergamo club has lost its luster since its run in the Champions League in 2020, this team will remain a tough opponent for the Marseillais. Sixth in Serie A and qualified for the final of the Italian Cup, Gian Piero Gasperini’s team approaches this double confrontation as favorites. But OM have proven their ability to overthrow mountains this season on the European scene.
The expected compositions
OM : future.
Atalanta : future.
