Beaten for the first time in 2025 by Auxerre (3-0), the Marseillais emerged from the bay of the fields with a deep feeling of injustice. Pablo Longoria, exasperated, went to ask the referees for accounts, while Fabrizio Ravanelli denounced an accumulation of unfavorable decisions against OM.
“Never seen that!” “-Longoria's black anger after Auxerre-OM
Before kick -off, this meeting felt the sulfur. The designation of Jérémy Stinat, already at the heart of a recent controversy with OM, had fueled the discussions, and the referee's performance only accentuated Marseille frustration. Between the penalty refused to Quentin Merlin, the goal of Amine Gouiri canceled for an offside limit and the expulsion of Derek Cornelius deemed severe, Marseille had the feeling of being penalized throughout the meeting.
A feeling shared by Pablo Longoria, who did not hide his annoyance after the final whistle. Building out of the stands hurriedly, he waited for the referee in the stadium tunnel to express his misunderstanding to him in the face of the decisions taken. On the images of the Dazn diffuser, we see the Marseille president launching:
“In twenty years of career, I have never seen that”,
illustrating the exasperation of the club in the face of these repeated decisions against him.
Ravanelli drives the nail
Longoria was not the only one to raise their tone. Fabrizio Ravanelli, OM sports advisor, also spoke to denounce what he considers to be one -way arbitration. “Everyone saw, Jérémy Stinat made a scandalous match. He did anything. The second yellow card in Cornelius is unacceptable. I don't know if there is something against OM, but it's starting to be worrying. »»
A speech that reflects the malaise of the Marseille club in the face of what he considers a recurring trend this season. After several matches marked by disputed decisions, frustration reaches its climax, and this defeat against Auxerre may leave traces.
A risk of tension with the instances
If OM shouts in injustice, this protest posture could also prejudice it. Repeated criticisms against arbitration, as legitimate as they are, are likely to lead to tension with the authorities and make the situation even more difficult in the coming weeks.
Moreover, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, more measured, tried to extinguish the fire by adopting a more lucid tone. “Red always changes the matches, but today it is above all our performance that has been insufficient. We must continue to work. »» A more peaceful speech, which contrasts with the indignation displayed by the Olympian management.
With this defeat, Marseille keeps five points ahead of Lille, but sees her invincibility in 2025 stop suddenly. It remains to be seen whether this frustration will turn into a source of motivation or if, on the contrary, it will come to a little more plummed the atmosphere in the Marseille ranks.
