**Lassana Diarra Thrives at Olympique de Marseille**
After a year without playing, Lassana Diarra finally joined Olympique de Marseille last summer. The former Real Madrid midfielder has already made a significant impact this season.
In an interview with beIN Sports, the Malian-born player explained his choice:
*”Why OM? Because it’s OM. Look around you—a team like OM, which has won the Champions League in the past, naturally spoke to me. I responded, and things are going pretty well so far. The revival after three consecutive victories? We’re on the right track, keeping up the good work. We have to keep working and maintain the same state of mind.”*
Diarra’s arrival has undoubtedly boosted OM’s performance and morale.
