Marseille takes second place after an overwhelming victory over Montpellier

Marseille revived his hopes for a European qualification thanks to a brilliant victory against the Montpellier (5-1) this Saturday. The Phoceans thus regained their place as a dolphin in Ligue 1, taking advantage of the difficulties of the Red Lantern of the championship.

The match, played at home, was marked by a clear domination of the Marseille Olympique**, which managed to exploit the mistakes of its opponent. If the collective performance revealed some imperfections, the team managed to prevail without any earthquake.

Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, a senior midfielder, analysed the meeting with lucidity: “We did not have the desired results. Today it wasn’t our best game, but was the band’s state of mind there? Yes. We can still improve, the ambiance of the team pleased. The stadium helped us tonight, it was impressive. In a game like this, it’s important not to force things, we knew the goal was coming. Sometimes you can get stressed out against the last of Ligue 1, but the result is correct, we’re just pissed off at that goal.”

This victory is mainly synonymous with a confidence recovery for theOM after a series of mixed results. The team took second place in the standings, a key goal for the end of the season. With five goals scored, the men of Roberto De Zerbi confirmed their superiority over an opponent in great difficulty.

The next game represents a new challenge for the Phocéans*, who will have to confirm this dynamic against an opponent of a completely different calibre. Offensive efficiency has been on the table, but work remains to be done to ensure European qualification.
