After having undoubtedly imagined the worst, Wednesday evening at the final whistle in Frankfurt (2-1), the Marseillais are now certain of one thing: they have their destiny in their hands / feet for the last League group match. champions, Tuesday November 1 (9 p.m.) against Tottenham.

If Igor Tudor regretted Wednesday, rightly, "the lack of defensive edge at the start" of the meeting in Germany (the excellent Kamada found the fault from the 3rd minute of play), he quickly projected himself on the continuation .


“We have this final in six days, we must not worry too much, says the Croatian coach of OM.

It will be the game of the year.

For the supporters, it will be beautiful.

Considering how we have played so far, we deserve to win.

The way we have shaken up all these teams makes me proud.

“Despite their current last place (with 6 points), the partners of Valentin Rongier therefore control their fate, because they are only 2 points behind Tottenham (1st), and 1 on the Sporting-Frankfurt tandem.

Here are the three possible scenarios depending on next Tuesday's result at the Stade Vélodrome.

  • If OM win:

    The Marseillais will qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League, whatever happens at Sporting-Frankfurt.

    In the event of a draw between these two teams at the same time in Lisbon, OM would even finish first in their group.

    An outcome that was damn unexpected after the first two defeats.

  • If OM concede a draw against Tottenham:

    It can simply be transferred to the Europa League, if (and only if) Frankfurt wins on the lawn of Sporting.

    Indeed, the Marseillais have the particular goal average in their favor compared to the Portuguese (2 wins), but not compared to the Germans (2 defeats).

  • If OM lose against Spurs:

    This would obviously mean the total end of the European adventure this season.

As clear as the prospect of seeing Dimitri Payet and Gerson once again spend 90 minutes on the bench against Tottenham this case, right?
