Olympique de Marseille is set to play their final Champions League match of the season, hosting the Germans from Dortmund. Notably, this match comes after the dismissal of coach Elie Baup, and the interim, José Anigo, will be leading the team. Marseille has struggled in the Champions League, failing to collect a single point in the first five matches.
The situation in the domestic league is also challenging, with Nantes securing a victory at the Vélodrome in the 17th round. Marseille’s goalkeeper, Steve Mandanda, is hopeful that the team will rise to the occasion in this match.
Mandanda emphasized the need for a comprehensive reassessment compared to their previous performance, stating, “Compared to Friday, there is everything to review: aggression, commitment, state of mind… We will have to play as a unit, communicate more… If we put all these ingredients in, we will make the task more complicated for Dortmund and that will give us more possibilities to win.”
Olympique de Marseille is aiming to secure their first points in the Champions League this season and will be looking to end the campaign on a positive note.
