Mario Lemina made his inaugural start in the Champions League this season, but unfortunately, it turned out to be a challenging evening for the midfielder. Marseille faced a defeat on the Arsenal pitch, marking their fifth setback in as many games. Marseille remains at 0 points, securing the last position in its group.
Despite Lemina’s commendable performance, the overall display from the Marseille club was disappointing. Reflecting on the situation, Lemina expressed his frustration, stating, “It’s still humiliating to stay at zero points.” He expressed hope to secure at least a point in the last match against Dortmund to avoid finishing the group stage with zero points, emphasizing, “It would still be a shame.”
Despite implementing six changes compared to the first-leg encounter, Marseille displayed shortcomings, notably conceding a goal just 29 seconds into the match at the Emirates Stadium.
