Samir Nasri exulted like rarely. The former OM trained midfielder attended the quarter-final second leg between Marseille and Benfica on Thursday evening. And he couldn't contain his joy during Marseille's final shot on goal, synonymous with qualification for the Europa League semi-finals.
The ex-player of Arsenal, City and especially OM, now a football consultant for Canal +, literally screamed with joy at the moment of Luis Henrique's victorious shot on goal against Benfica, letting out "Yes!" », as shown in images broadcast on social networks by the encrypted channel. Samir Nasri screams and clenches his fist, without the slightest restraint.
Defeated 2-1 in the first leg, the Marseillais pushed for a long time without managing to achieve anything against the cages. It was finally Moumbagna, with a header from a cross from Aubameyang (79th), who managed to deceive Trubin, the ball slipping between his legs, snatching an extension.
During the penalty shootout, an intractable Pau Lopez beat Di Maria and Silva to seal the victory.
Marseille therefore extends its meeting with Europe, on May 2 against Atalanta Bergamo for the semi-final first leg.
Until then, OM have three L 1 matches to play. But on Thursday evening, his 9th place in the championship was very far away.
