We don’t quite feel the scent of the epic yet, and you would really have to be very young to think that OM’s European adventure this spring takes its full place in the great history of the club. But Marseille is in the semi-finals of the Europa League, it joins Paris-SG, qualified two days earlier in the Champions League, and French football did not go far from an exceptional midweek. He’s still pretty great. Only Lille is missing from the panorama, evacuated from the Europa Conference League on penalties at the start of the evening, new victim of a national curse embodied by Emiliano Martinez. Eliminated but also winning his return match.
