Former defender of OM who was crowned European champion in 1993 at the expense of AC Milan, Eric Di Meco had gathered Friday evening many teammates of this epic at the Fortin de Corbières, in Marseille for a private evening on the sidelines of the festivities celebrating the thirty-year coronation.
An appointment in which Emmanuel Macron participated in his own way by recording a video of congratulations. Long-time supporter of the Marseille club, the head of state wanted to thank Raymond Goethals' men for this feat.
«
I wanted to tell you that I was thinking very much of you. First, because that evening, 30 years ago, you made me dream and vibrate like millions of other French people, not just Marseillais. Then because, as you know, I have never ceased to be faithful to OM and you are the mythical generation, the one who made it possible to have this European star and to be forever the first! Always and again!", said Emmanuel Macron before concluding: "I can not be with you tonight to celebrate this beautiful victory but I think very hard and I think of you. I also have a photo that was given to me a few years ago with Basil that can be seen in perspective from the stands behind. The moment is immortalized.
