Of course, there is the reaction at the end of the match, with the equalizer of Dimitri Payet, who could even have given the victory to OM without a recalcitrant cross.
But the draw at the Vélodrome (2-2) against Lazio Rome this Thursday evening, the fourth in four Europa League games, especially leaves a bitter taste to the Marseillais, starting with their coach.

“We were very superior in the first half and getting to the break even was not necessarily fair,” said Jorge Sampaoli.
In the second half, we take a very quick goal but the team struggled until the last second.
It was hard to come back with a very experienced team in front.
We managed to play without fear but in this competition we weren't very lucky.
"
Last two games to qualify
However, the door to the round of 16 remains "open", as the Argentinian technician indicates.
“We have to win our [last] two games.
Justice in football does not really exist.
We lived up to the challenge during these four games, with courage and personality.
We must continue in the same way.
"
Third in its group with 4 points, behind Galatasaray (8 points) and Lazio (5), OM will travel to Turkey on November 25, before finishing at home on December 9 against Lokomotiv Moscow (2 points), lantern red probably demobilized at that time.
The first group will go directly to the 8th, the second will go through a jump-off, the third will also play a jump-off, but for the Europa League Conference.
The last will be eliminated.
