Olympique de Marseille faced Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday evening for the second day of the Champions League group stages. With their backs against the wall, Marseille aimed to secure points to maintain hope for possible qualification in the competition. The team had already suffered a defeat against Arsenal (1-2) at the Vélodrome in the opening match, putting them in a challenging position in the “death group.” Scoring goals had been a struggle for Marseille, compounded by the absence of André-Pierre Gignac, who was still recovering from an injury. Souleymane Diawara expressed the team’s determination, acknowledging the tough competition but emphasizing the importance of the right mindset to secure victories.
