"Édouard Cissé's post-match interview following Real-OM: "If you're a Real fan, you shouldn't have flinched""
In a match that lacked excitement, Real Madrid emerged victorious against Olympique de Marseille, securing a 2-1 win. The Spanish giants, who had most of their players on international duty a week prior, seemed to be in conservation mode, playing at around 60% of their potential.
Marseille, on the other hand, appeared to accept Real Madrid's superiority from the start, with no noticeable attempts to organize their game or create opportunities. The French team, like most aside from PSG, seemed to struggle to play at full strength.
Real Madrid's fatigue was noticeable, yet they still managed to maintain a conservative approach, opting not to press aggressively. Kondogbia was more visible in the game, but it was not enough to turn the tide in Marseille's favour.
O'Riley struggled to make an impact, while Højbjerg's performance was not prominent. Angel Gomes was not utilized in Marseille's lineup. Despite Real Madrid's subdued performance, they did not give Marseille a thrashing, suggesting the French team put up a valiant effort.
The speaker, reflecting on the match, wonders about Marseille's ambitions. The questionable ambitions were evident, as Marseille seemed to be told from the start that Real Madrid is better. The speaker suggests that Marseille could have attempted to create opportunities even against a stronger Real Madrid.
Unfortunately, no specific Marseille players impressed the speaker during the match, leaving questions about which players justified a larger role after the match against Real Madrid. Carvajal's sending off did not lead the speaker to believe the match could turn in favor of Marseille.
In conclusion, Real Madrid secured a hard-fought victory against a seemingly demotivated Marseille team. The game was not particularly exciting, but it served as a reminder of Real Madrid's dominance and Marseille's lack of ambition against stronger opponents.
