Despite Pau Lopez’s impressive brilliance, he was reduced to ten men in the second half, but lost by the fewest margins on Sunday night to Paris Saint-Germain (1-0). First, the Parisians are now six points ahead of Marseille.
OM may regret it. Having fended off the Parisians in the first period, Marseille, held by the great Pau Lopez (see elsewhere), finally lost at the Parc des Princes on smaller margins (0-1). A setback pushes them out of the podium in the French League after the victory of the Lens team on Saturday evening (1-0). The Parisians continue their indomitable streak in the championship this season.

Without the interventions of the Spanish goalkeeper, the addition would have been more salty for Marseille. Still in the match after three crucial saves in five minutes, OM then had chances on the other side of the field. But does it still need implementation? Jonathan Klaus center after a break on the right side? There is no one at the reception in the area (16th). Mattéo Guendouzi alone behind him at the entrance to the rooftop? Nuno Tavares forgot it when the Portuguese got the ball back very high in the Parisian camp (26th place). Strikes Amin Harit (37) and Jordan Vertoot (39)? Above Gianluigi Donnarumma’s goal.
The Parisians were also able to make poor choices, such as Achraf Hakimi whose pass was blocked when he was accompanied by two of his teammates against Marseille one. Except that, Paris got the ball back thanks to Marco Verratti, who crushed Harriet’s knee during the match, and Kylian Mbappe sent Neymar in the opening match with a touch of the ball (45 + 2). Rescue for the park, 12 minutes after Lionel Messi found the crossbar in a free kick in the pivot (35).
During the second period, which was much less intense than the first, the Marseille team, perhaps a little shy but weaker than their European week, finished the meeting at ten o’clock after Samuel Gigot was sent off, guilty of a very late intervention on Neymar (72. ). Off the bench in his first Classic match, Avignonnais came back just before the break in place of Eric Bailly’s groin injury. Reduced to ten, OM could no longer hope to return to the match. A week after their first defeat of the season in the tournament (1-2 vs Ajaccio)For the second time in a row, the Foggies lose in the French First Division.
Tudor: “A lot of respect for them”
Player: Pau Lopez kept OM in the match
Before losing at the end of the first half, Pau Lopez saved Olympique Marseille several times. From the third minute, the Spanish goalkeeper had to lie down for the first time in front of Lionel Messi. In the aftermath, the Argentine, kicking off a foul by Nuno Tavares, forced him to step in again. After a third display against Achraf Hakimi (the fifth), the Spaniard managed to breathe for a quarter of an hour before having to work again against Kylian Mbappe, who pretended to open his foot (19), then flies away in a skewed shot. From the French striker (28).
After a missed shot from the world champion just before the break, Pau Lopez raised his voice with Jordan Veretot (44), who was undoubtedly tired of being bombarded by the Parisians. A crop that didn’t stop Marco Verratti from trying his luck after the hour mark, but once again, the former AS Roma team was watching.
