The Lyon players congratulate each other and shout their joy.
They scored a big blow on the lawn of the Vélodrome by clearly winning (0-3).
Placed between the two semi-final matches of the Europa League Conference against Feyenoord Rotterdam, this Olympico therefore turned into a nightmare for OM.
In the standings, Marseille's 2nd place is now threatened by Monaco and Rennes, who are down to just three points.
For OL, this prestigious success at the Vélodrome in the lair of their best enemy, will not save their sad season, but it allows them to still believe in European qualification on the wire.
Solid defensively and effective in front of the opposing goal, Peter Bosz's team delivered a serious match.
When you see what this team can be capable of achieving, it will certainly stir up the regrets of fans and management alike.
Dfor their part, OM will have to get back in place for their semi-final on Thursday.
Although often very demonstrative, we had rarely seen such a furious Jorge Sampaoli.
The Argentinian spent the end of the first period fuming after Mr. Gautier's decision not to whistle a penalty after consulting the VAR, for a handball from Moussa Dembélé in the area (26th).
And it was not Arkadiusz Milik's lack of success in front of goal that calmed him down.
The OM striker was too short or lacked precision in many situations (10th, 18th, 29th, 43rd, 48th).
Marseille, which showed a certain mental fatigue, missed its chance.
On the pitch and on the benches, the tension rose a notch after Lyon opened the score on a free kick from Emerson, taken over by Dembélé then Castello Lukeba (0-1, 55th).
OM claim an offside and Pau Lopez is hit in the arm during his contact with Dembélé.
Along the touchline, Sampaoli is always boiling and clashes multiply.
The counter-express concluded by the center of Mallo Gusto for the header of Dembélé - 4th goal against OM and the 3rd at the Vélodrome for the captain of OL - casts a new big chill (0-2, 76th) on Marseilles.
Lyon's victory turns into a small humiliation after a new block for the 3rd goal signed Toko Ekambi (12th goal in L1) following a big miss from Marseillais Cédric Bakambu in front of Anthony Lopes' goal (0-3, 88th).
Of the last 15 encounters in L1 between the two teams, Lyon won their 6th victory for 8 draws and a success for OM.
“Lyon won because they were better than us.
This match was very important for our supporters.
I feel sorry for them.
It's difficult for us at the moment but it's not fatigue, ”considers the OM goalkeeper at the microphone of Prime Video.
