The Olympique de Marseille is going through a delicate period, illustrated by another heavy defeat against Monaco (3-0) which seriously compromises its chances of qualifying for the Champions League. This counterperformance is part of a series of setbacks, the team having suffered five defeats in seven matches, allowing Monaco to take second place in the standings. The observation is clear: OM’s current performance raises serious concerns about its ability to achieve its European objectives.

Following the match, OM coach Roberto De Zerbi expressed his disagreement with the result, believing that his team had demonstrated a better game than Monaco, especially in the first half. Despite the disappointment, he maintained confidence in the possibility for OM to qualify, stressing that the other teams in the competition were also faced with direct confrontations and that determination would be the decisive factor. He insists that OM players are fully engaged in this race.

Despite the severity of the final score, Roberto De Zerbi remains convinced that OM would have deserved a more favorable result, based on the quality of his game in the first half. He admits that Monaco managed the match in the second period, but refuses to give up the hope of qualifying in the Champions League, saying that the team remains in the race and determined to fight to achieve its goal.
