Olympique de Marseille (OM) is grappling with a challenging phase, evident in their recent defeat to Borussia Mönchengladbach in the Europa League with a scoreline of two goals to zero. Charles Kaboré, the Burkinabé international midfielder for OM, has shouldered some responsibility for the loss.
In a candid admission, Kaboré stated, “We defended well until the penalty, which was my fault. The referee could have chosen not to whistle… Initially, there was a foul, but there’s no excuse to seek; there’s a penalty, and it’s my fault. I take full responsibility. We need to rectify the mistakes from today. Both goals tonight were preventable.” Despite the setback, Kaboré emphasized the importance of moving forward, acknowledging the remaining fixtures in both the league and Europa League.
OM has relinquished the top spot in their Europa League group, now trailing behind Fenerbahçe, and they currently sit behind PSG in the French championship.
Expressing the evident disappointment, the situation calls for resilience. Kaboré stressed the need for the team to regroup and focus on the forthcoming challenges. He urged his teammates to continue fighting for each other, echoing the collective spirit that has characterized their season thus far. Looking ahead, he emphasized the importance of returning to training promptly, signaling a determination to bounce back from the recent setback.
