In the meantime, the object of the Marseille manager’s wrath – Leonardo Balerdi, wrongly sent off by Mr Bastien during this match – has received a “one-match suspension” from the League. OM, as with Derek Cornelius a week earlier, had nevertheless requested the cancellation of the Argentinian defender’s second warning in view of the contentious action observed between the latter and Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette. The new captain of the Olympians will therefore miss the closing match of the 6th day of L1 in Strasbourg this Sunday.
