Athletic Club 1 Olympique Marseille 2


Athletic Club lost 2-1 to Olympique Marseille in San Mames and were knocked out of the UEL in the round of 16 (2-5 on aggregate). Iñaki Williams scored the goal for our team and Payet (penalty) and Ocampos scored the visitors.

French superiority in the qualifiers, although during the first half it has not been so. However, a little after the break, a maximum penalty has made things even more difficult. In the restart, the OM had a lot more space and, after the 0-2, they played almost at their leisure.

However, our team have narrowed the gap with Williams’ goal and have not let down their arms during the whole match, despite the injuries to Rico and Yeray in the first half and Aduriz’s dismissal in the second.

Athletic have had the support of almost 40,000 spectators, who in the end were disappointed by the outcome of the qualifying round.

Therefore, the European match 101 in San Mamés will have to wait. Let’s hope it won’t be long enough to miss, for example, the 14 continental experiences of this season, seven of them at La Catedral.

And on Sunday, before the next stop for the national teams, he visits the leader of LaLiga at the Camp Nou.
