Overview

  • OM suffered a 3-1 defeat to Stade de Reims, marking their third consecutive loss and fourth in six matches in Ligue 1.
  • Adrien Rabiot, stepping in as captain after Leonardo Balerdi's injury, publicly criticized his teammates for lacking hunger and ambition to secure UEFA Champions League qualification.
  • The defeat exposed OM's defensive and offensive weaknesses, particularly in duels, counter-pressing, and set-piece defense.
  • Rabiot emphasized the importance of Champions League qualification, urging players without ambition to step aside for the remaining seven matches of the season.
  • Limited preparation due to the international break was noted as a factor, but Rabiot called for a shift in mentality to salvage OM's precarious second-place position.
