OM (Olympique de Marseille) showed determination, but Dortmund ultimately secured a victory through perseverance. The Olympians believed they were on the verge of earning their first point in the Champions League until the 86th minute when Grosskreutz’s goal sealed a 2-1 win for Borussia Dortmund at the Vélodrome on the 6th and final day of the Champions League group stage. Marseille now holds the unfortunate distinction of being the first French team to finish the C1 group stage without scoring any points.
Souleymane Diawara expressed his disappointment in a post-match interview with BeIn Sport, stating, “Our goal was to secure at least a draw. We showed determination, but it wasn’t enough, especially with the setback of the red card. Dortmund deserves the win tonight. We played aggressively as the coach instructed, but it proved insufficient against a team of this caliber. Our focus now shifts to the championship. It’s regrettable to end with zero points, but that’s the reality.”
