Marseille (OM) experienced their fifth consecutive setback in the UEFA Champions League, officially eliminating them from all European competitions. The match against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium began disastrously for OM, with Jack Wilshere scoring a high-quality goal just 33 seconds into the game. Wilshere showcased his skill by dribbling past defenders before delivering a left-footed shot, beating goalkeeper Steve Mandanda. Despite the return of Valbuena and Thauvin, Marseille struggled against Arsenal’s domination.
In the second half, Wilshere secured his brace, solidifying Arsenal’s lead. The Gunners now only need a draw in their final match against Napoli to qualify for the round of 16. Meanwhile, Marseille, stuck at 0 points after five matches, faces the risk of becoming the first French team to finish the group stage without scoring a single point. With their Champions League hopes extinguished, Marseille will look to salvage honor in their upcoming match against Dortmund at the Vélodrome.
