Bergamo is not that far. Barely a little over 500 kilometers, a distance that is not very frightening for OM supporters used to crossing France and Europe to support the Olympics. But a constraint came into play with their trip to the North-East of Italy: the capacity of the Gewiss Stadium.
Atalanta’s den, currently under construction, can only accommodate 15,000 spectators and its visitor parking lot has only 750 places. A figure which seems far too low for Marseille supporters, especially for a European Cup semi-final return leg. Some therefore had to stay at the dock and will perhaps be able (even if we do not believe it), to console themselves with the arrival of the Olympic flame in the Marseille city this Wednesday.
One thing is certain, all eyes will be on Bergamo this Thursday evening. And like a football match is a moment of sharing, Provence offers you different places to watch the meeting between OM lovers. With, we hope, tears of joy at the end of the 90 minutes, or even overtime or penalties (Vérétout and his partners have accustomed us to this this season).
A must-see place to watch an OM match, the Old Port. You will undoubtedly have to come early in order to have the best places but the multitude of establishments will give you the choice: the Nowhere elseTHE ShamrockTHE Little Temple BarTHE Loch Ness or even the O’Malley’s should experience high attendance, both inside and on the terrace. Without forgetting the Brasserie du Portknown as OM Café.
Unmissable places to meet up for a drink, Cours Julien and La Plaine can also serve as a setting for your football evening. Particularly if you go to Market Bar or to Bar de la Plaine. More beach? THE Red Lionon avenue Pierre-Mendès France, and its nine screens will also satisfy you.
