Olympique de Marseille sees it more clearly. If the Olympian leaders, Pablo Longoria and Javier Ribalta, are not idle with an active transfer window like the recent arrival of Ndiaye, the latest recruit to date, the OM calendar is becoming more refined. In the third round of Champions League qualifying, Marcelinho’s men will face Panathinaikos Athens.
At the end of a tense and disputed double confrontation (2-2 in the return match, 3-1 in the first leg), the Greek club dismissed the Ukrainians of Dnipro from their European path. The first leg is scheduled for August 8 or 9 in Greece and the return to the Vélodrome on August 15. This is a first step for OM, before a possible dam at the end of the month. Against a tougher opponent. And a final streak to compete in the C1 in September, the big goal of the Marseille bosses.
