OM’s crazy performance at the Olympico confirms the idea that the Marseille club seems able to compete with PSG for the French championship title this season.
On Sunday evening, Olympique de Marseille beat Olympique Lyonnais at the Groupama Stadium (2-3), at the end of a match with a totally improbable scenario. With four wins and a draw, the start of the season for the Marseille club has been very satisfactory.
More than ever, Roberto De Zerbi’s men are positioning themselves as competitors to Paris Saint-Germain for the French championship title.
“OM sent another message, reacted Daniel Riolo after the Olympico, on the airwaves of RMC. OM fills the mailbox every week and says: ‘We will be there’. Rabiot will join this team and even if Wahi is inside, there will be guys to play up front.”
OM, Paris and Monaco, three teams to compete for the title
The entire Olympian squad seems concerned. “If even the ‘tricards’ regain confidence like Ulisses Garcia, Pol Lirola… There’s also Rongier, who I’ll never change my mind about, he’s a 100% reliable guy. Hojbjerg is the boss. The midfield that OM has built this year… I hope we have three teams playing for the title. You always have to stay measured, at OM things get carried away very quickly. From what I see, there is reason to be very optimistic,” concluded the sports journalist.
PSG, OM and AS Monaco all have thirteen points. On Friday evening, the capital club will host Stade Rennais for the sixth day of Ligue 1. The following day, the Principality club will host Montpellier, while Marseille will travel to Strasbourg for the closing match on Sunday.
