Olympique de Marseille faced another setback as they suffered a defeat against OGC Nice in the Mediterranean derby, following their earlier loss in the Clasico against PSG. This marks Marseille’s first away defeat in the league this season. The disappointment has raised questions about the team’s form and whether they are entering a crisis.
Steve Mandanda, the captain of OM, expressed the team’s frustration after the match, particularly acknowledging the exceptional performance of Nice’s goalkeeper, Ospina. Despite creating numerous opportunities, Marseille failed to score, and Mandanda emphasized the importance of finding the net to secure victories.
Mandanda urged the team to stay positive and forward-focused, acknowledging the challenging period with several big matches. He emphasized the need to remain calm, avoid mixing different competitions, and maintain cohesion to move forward together. Marseille faces Napoli in the Champions League on Tuesday, presenting an opportunity for redemption.
