OM coach Jean-Louis Gasset and his players have chosen not to choose between Ligue 1 and the Europa League.

The end of the season for Olympique de Marseille promises to be exciting. Starting tomorrow, the Marseille club will welcome OGC Nice to the Stade Vélodrome, in a late match on the 29th day of Ligue 1. Currently in ninth position in the league, Jean-Louis Gasset’s men will having to string together good results to hope to secure a place in the European Cup at the end of the season.

While knowing that OM is still in the Europa League race. The players do not plan to favor one competition over another, at the risk of losing everything upon arrival. “We are not going to leave any competition aside, warned defender Amir Murillo at a press conference. At OM, we must try to win everything. We have to be competitive in the league and in the European Cup. We are recovering most of our injured players, so we will be able to be competitive. »

OM master of his destiny?

Same story with Jean-Louis Gasset. “We have to push ourselves to the limit, whether in the league or the Europa League. We are OM”, recalled the 70-year-old technician. “If we beat Nice, we will be seventh, three points behind Lens who we play on Sunday. We still have our future in our hands. The week is decisive. »

If OM failed to qualify for a European Cup through Ligue 1, it would still have the possibility of playing in one next season. To do this, we would have to win the Europa League, which offers a place directly in the Champions League.
