Marseille will not see the Champions League play-offs. Missing out on their meeting in Bruges this Wednesday evening (3-0), Roberto De Zerbi’s men finished in 25th place in the regular phase, the first non-qualifying for the rest of the competition.
Although ranked 19th before the multiplex of the 8th day, the Olympians lost six places, suffering a combination of negative results in the other matches of the evening. The nail on the Marseille coffin was planted by Anatoliy Trubin, the… goalkeeper of Benfica!
Author of the saving goal at the end of added time (90th + 8), the Lisboet allowed his partners to win 4-2 against Real Madrid and finish ahead of OM thanks to a better goal difference (-2 for Benfica against -3 for Marseille), the two teams being tied on points.
