Pierre Ménès tried to explain the catastrophic course of OM, winner of only one of six games, in the Champions League this season. The consultant of Canal + draws up an implacable observation.
“What would be convenient is to say that the level between the Champions League and Ligue 1 is very different. Me, I do not agree with that, because I think that Marseille could have, or even should have , take points against Porto and against Olympiakos, he regrets. From the first match in Greece, Marseille destroyed their chances in C1 because they made a non-match. They refused the game, they lost 1-0 in the final minutes. You start off by losing without playing against the weakest team in the group. You mortgage all your chances knowing that you will take zero points against Manchester City. “
“I think that the Marseillais did not believe it whereas in the championship they believe in it. Obviously, it is easier to play Bordeaux or Angers than to play Porto. But, there is not an abyssal gap between the “OM and Porto either. The Marseillais missed this campaign in the Champions League for lack of investment, lack of confidence and above all for having resigned themselves too quickly,” concludes Ménès.
