This Monday, the traditional “Foot Marseille” debate will take place at 5.30 pm, moderated by Benjamín Courmes, Jean-Charles De Bono and Michel Flos. The show will cover the fourth day of Ligue 1, the statements of Pablo Longoria, but the focus will be on the crucial match of the upcoming Champions League between Real Madrid and Olympique de Marseille. The spectators are invited to follow the YouTube and Twitch channel so as not to miss any discussion.

The Marseille team is preparing to face Real Madrid with uncertainty about the presence of Leonardo Balerdi, potentially reinforced by the Aguerd package. Despite performance that has recently been considered irregular, Balerdi should travel to Madrid and could be titularized. Competition for his position has intensified with players like Pavardet, Agued and Medina, but Agued’s package seems to give him an opportunity. The possible absence of Amine Gouiri could also open a place for Pierre-Eméric Aubameyang at the tip of the attack. The group will fly to Spain on Monday afternoon, with a press conference scheduled for the stadium.

In addition, Steve Mandanda, the iconic guardian of the Olympique de Marseille, began a new career as a consultant for Canal+. After an exceptional career, he will join Canal+ teams to comment on the evenings dedicated to the Champions League. His knowledge of the game, his serenity and his experience will be valuable to enrich the analyses. Although he is not present for the game against Real Madrid, his future presence is expected, reflecting his deep attachment to the club. This transition is part of the continuity of several former international Marseilles who have successfully converted into the media, thus offering fans the opportunity to hear the voice of a club legend.
