Olympique de Marseille, currently third in Ligue 1 and nine points behind leaders Olympique Lyonnais, face a crucial run-in as they aim to secure a Champions League spot for next season. With nine league matches remaining, every point is vital, and the team is determined to fight until the end. Defender Bouna Sarr is confident that Marseille can achieve their goal and insists that the focus remains firmly on the club.
“Why not leave one day, but it’s not a priority for me. It’s not on the agenda. Because I want to experience the Champions League with OM,” the Franco-Guinean told France Bleu. Sarr emphasized the importance of the stadium atmosphere and the fans, saying, “It’s linked to the stadium, to the fans. I really want to experience those European cup moments with Olympique de Marseille.” His remarks underline both his commitment to the club and the strong motivation within the squad to secure European football for next season.
Marseille’s next test comes this Saturday, when they host Angers for the 30th matchday of Ligue 1. A win in this fixture is crucial to closing the gap on Lyon and strengthening their claim to a Champions League spot. The team will be looking to combine solid defensive performances with attacking efficiency, relying on key players to step up in a high-stakes encounter.
With the season entering its final phase, Marseille must maintain consistency and take advantage of any slip-ups by the teams above them. For Sarr and his teammates, the objective is clear: finish strongly in the league and secure the chance to compete at Europe’s highest club level next season.
