OM eliminated PSG in the round of 16 of the Gambardella Cup on Saturday. Ethan Mbappé, copiously insulted, did not have a good day…
Olympique de Marseille knocked PSG out of the Coupe de France in 2023. It was this time in Gambardella that the Phocéens made their rivals bite the dust. Sunday, in an OM Campus transformed into a mini-Vélodrome, with smoke bombs behind it, the Marseillais qualified for the round of 16 of the competition by eliminating Paris on penalties (1-1, 5-4 tab).
After opening the scoring through Joane Gadou (0-1, 10th), PSG gave up, conceding the equalizer on a penalty converted by Enzo Sternal (1-1, 30th), the most promising youth teams at OM. Unable to decide between themselves in the second period despite opportunities on both sides, the two teams went straight to the cruel exercise of penalties.
Insults and “Faïza, Faïza!” » for 90 minutes
The Parisians were unable to respond to the Olympian’s faultless performance and it was striker Mahamadou Sangaré who offered Aboubaka Dosso, the Marseille goalkeeper who passed through PSG a few years ago and was born in Saint-Denis, the opportunity to shine and put his team in orbit, before Kelyann Bezhaf’s winning shot.
In addition to the sporting result, favorable to the players coached by Christian Bracconi, it is the atmosphere which probably marked the Parisian minds. Particularly that of Ethan Mbappé… Starting in the midfield within the eleven concocted by Zoumana Camara, the brother of the star striker of PSG was constantly insulted and provoked by the spectators gathered on the corridor side. Everyone who followed the match on Youtube could not escape the rather brutal treatment reserved for the young midfielder. It must not have been easy for the 17-year-old player to constantly hear the name of his mother, Faïza, chanted by around a hundred supporters for 90 minutes, among other joys and threats. All this did not prevent him from scoring his shot on goal during the session and delaying the deadline, which is a rather good sign in terms of his mentality.
In terms of fervor, we still prefer these images of communion between the Minots and their supporters, once the Parisian Titis have been defeated.
