Olympique de Marseille (OM) has boosted its hopes in the Champions League by turning the game around against Newcastle, winning 2-1 in their last match. Currently ranked 21st, the team controls its destiny with three games left in the league phase. In Ligue 1, Marseille is also performing well, holding 3rd place. However, they missed the top spot last weekend after drawing with Toulouse at home. Medhi Benatia aims to secure a first title in 13 years since winning the League Cup. He stated, “An objective for whom and for what? For me, for the coach, for Pablo (Longoria), for the shareholder, I would say it’s something that would please us,” on RMC, after the Coupe de France drew them against Bourg-en-Bresse in the round of 32.
“In terms of how we try to work, I believe the reward would indeed be qualifying for the Champions League next year. But also to show a strong performance this season in the Champions League. However, regarding the club’s important goals, like last year’s qualification for the Champions League, we were never asked this year to build this team to reach the top 24,” the sporting director added, affirming that reaching the top 24 is achievable.
