The Vélodrome was present this Thursday evening for the Europa League return play-off between OM and Shakhtar Donetsk. But the tone is set…
It was a copiously stocked and festive Vélodrome which welcomed the two teams for this Europa League return play-off between OM and Shakhtar Donetsk, this Thursday evening. Around 65,000 people took their places in the stands to push the Marseillais to qualification. Not without some warnings and hostile messages.
“ Players/management… You dishonor us. You are disgusting », We can read on a banner deployed on a bend. Or, more concise and direct: “ Players-management, get out of there!!! » The most significant message, however, is addressed to Frank McCourt, the owner of the Marseille club.
“The end of your era…”
Silent since the start of the crisis, the American businessman is not spared by the stadium: “ A specter as a shareholder; you respect neither OM nor its supporters; McCourt it’s the end of your era. »
The various supporters’ associations have also covered their pitches upside down as a sign of discontent. Mandatory victory for OM this evening, a week after an infuriating draw in Germany in the first leg (2-2).
