Where to see OM-Feyenoord Rotterdam
Four days after their 0-3 defeat against OL, at the Vélodrome, OM find Feyenoord this Thursday (9 p.m.), this new one at the Vélodrome, in the semi-final second leg of the semi-final second leg of the Europa League Conference.
The meeting will be broadcast on
Canal+ Sport
and
M6
.
Of course, you can follow it live with commentary on our site.
Who in the goals of OM?
This time, no suspense.
If he remained on the bench on Sunday, against Lyon, when many had imagined him in the starting lineup, Steve Mandanda will be lined up this Thursday.
Jorge Sampaoli confirmed it on Sunday evening.
"
We wanted him to be totally focused on this very important match and which can send us to the final
", justified the Argentine coach.
Remember that the 37-year-old world champion has played OM's last eight European matches, the last of the group stage in C3 against Lokomotiv Moscow (1-0 victory) and all of the posters in C4.
What to remember from the first leg?
Jostled by Dutch players boosted by the supercharged atmosphere of the De Kuip stadium, the Marseillais took the initial broth, with two goals signed Dessers and Sinisterra.
Dieng and Gerson had allowed them to come back to the score before the break, but Caleta-Car offered the 3-2 goal to Dessers as soon as the restart... Despite greater control during the second half, Sampaoli's players never filled this delay (3-2 final score).
“
It was hard and the frustration of not being able to play led to mistakes
,” summed up the Marseille coach.
One goal down?
Nothing irremediable for Olympique de Marseille.
“
It won't be easy, it's a great team, but we are more than capable of it
,” insists Valentin Rongier.

Why won't the Velodrome be full?
Following the excesses observed in the previous round, against PAOK Salonika, before and during the first leg, UEFA decided to close the north corner of the Velodrome – which can accommodate 13,000 people – for this half return against Feyenoord.
With a fine of nearly 100,000 euros as a bonus.
The Greek club had also been sanctioned, with a fine of 50,000 euros and the burden of damage caused by its own supporters in the visitor parking lot in Marseille.
PAOK supporters will also be deprived of their club's next European trip.
Note that the fervent fans of Feyenoord will arrive in large numbers on the Canebière: the Dutch club has been awarded more than 3000 tickets.
Complete or not, the “Vél” will have to play its role of 12th man this Thursday.
“
It will be total madness
Guus Til, Feyenoord midfielder, predicted just after last week's match.
Where, when and against whom in the final?
The final of this new Europa League Conference will take place on May 25 at the Arena Kombëtare in Tirana, the Albanian capital.
It will therefore pit the winner of the double confrontation between OM and Feyenoord against Leicester City or AS Roma.
The two teams left on a parity score in the first leg, at King Power Stadium (1-1).
They face each other on the lawn of the Olimpico this Thursday evening, at 9 p.m.
Ever the first?
If PSG have taken control at national level, becoming over the years the most successful French club in all competitions, the Marseillais are still the only ones who can boast of having won the Champions League.
Forever the first, as the saying goes, they are also national record holders for appearances in the European Cup final: five in total, two in C1 and three in C3, the last dating from 2018 in the Europa League with a 0-3 defeat in Lyon against Antoine Griezmann's Atlético Madrid.
A status that they could further strengthen by composting their ticket for Tirana… The Parisians for their part have only played in three continental finals, two in the Coupe des Coupes, including one won, and one in the Champions League.
