If he gives himself the right to believe in him by beating the Portuguese at a racetrack behind closed doors, OM still needs a good result this Wednesday (9:00pm) to fully re-launch themselves inside Group D. “We gave ourselves a chance to recover again in this group.”Dimitri Payet, author of The Blurred Start to the Season, welcomes you. Indeed, Marseille (3 points) is still in last place of course, but they are only three lengths behind their evening rival, the leader, and one of Tottenham and Frankfurt, who face each other in London, this Wednesday as well. In other words, success in Lisbon territory would completely rearrange the cards in the race to qualify for the knockout stage.
However, if hope returns, the Olympians are playing (very) aggressively on Wednesday. It can lose everything. Especially since the first leg match between the two squads, which was held behind closed doors and had an incredible scenario, did not say much about the value of the two teams. “We played over an hour at 11 against 10. The second leg will be different, away from home, with their fans. It will be very difficult.”, As the Croatian coach warned at the final whistle last week. For the record, OM has not won far from its rules in the Champions League since December 6, 2011 (2-3 victory against Dortmund), that is, for a period of … 3961 days.
