Olympique de Marseille has gone through a major crisis in Ligue 1, one that intensified after the heavy defeat against Paris Saint-Germain in Le Classique.
The club now looks far from the title race, which appears to be a battle between PSG and RC Lens, following a turbulent period that shook the sporting project led by Mehdi Benatia and ultimately led to the departure of Roberto De Zerbi.
Can Olympique Marseille still challenge PSG for the Ligue 1 title?
Despite the nightmare experienced after the loss to PSG in Le Classique, the exit of Roberto De Zerbi seems to have helped the club regain some stability.
The team is now coached by Habib Beye, and it has managed to remain in positions that would qualify for the Champions League next season.
However, Marseille still faces pressure from Olympique Lyon, where Endrick has become an important figure.
Thinking about the Ligue 1 title appears difficult, as the club currently sits eleven points behind PSG.
Mason Greenwood, the bright spot for Olympique Marseille
Marseille was eliminated from the Champions League during the league phase and also lost the French Super Cup to PSG.
However, amid the disappointing results, Mason Greenwood has been the team’s most positive storyline.
The former Manchester United forward is currently the top scorer in Ligue 1 with 15 goals.
Overall, Greenwood has 25 goals and 8 assists in 37 matches, establishing himself as a key player for Marseille this season.
