The Olympique de Marseille is currently at the heart of an intense transfer activity during this summer mercato 2025. Rumours and information about arrivals and departures are regularly updated on the FCMarseiille website. The names of Raspadori and El Bilal Touré come back insistently as potential avenues to strengthen the workforce. More contradictory information is circulating about the young left central defender, Sacha Boey, with offers refused for his acquisition. These developments reflect the club’s constant effort to refine its team for the new season.

In a recent show, Johan Micoud shared an anecdote about the Euro 2000 final, a moment full of emotion and tension. He tells how Christophe Dugarry, then on the bench, ironically commented on the situation with the Italians, stressing the unpredictability of crucial moments. Micoud explains that this remark, although challenged by Dugarry himself, perfectly illustrates the intense pressure felt by replacements during high-profile meetings.

This anecdote, reported more than two decades after the facts, contributes to the legend of French football and offers a unique overview of the Euro 2000 final. She recalls the importance of this historic event in the history of the Blues and confirms that this competition remains one of the most important chapters of the national team’s career. These accounts of the changing room and bench continue to fuel the passion and imagination of fans.
