Fourteen years later, Olympique de Marseille dreams of returning to the knockout phase of the Champions League. The Phocaeans, currently 16th in the single group (out of 24 qualified), are currently on the right track, even if they are still missing a few points to be definitively safe, two days from the end. A feat at home against Liverpool this Wednesday would give them a breather.
The poster against the Reds will bring back memories of the 2000s for Marseille fans, who notably experienced the joys of a victory at Anfield in 2007, thanks to a late goal from Mathieu Valbuena. The situation is no longer the same today, but Roberto Zerbi’s players, easy winners against Angers (2-5) this weekend, have the weapons, with Mason Greenwood in form, to annoy the Reds.
Kick-off for the Marseille – Liverpool match is scheduled for 9 p.m. this Wednesday, January 21. The meeting will be followed live on television on Canal +.
