Olympique de Marseille coach Igor Tudor is satisfied with the performance of his players in the Champions League.
After the first two rounds of the Champions League, the football players of Olympique de Marseille had zero points, but after two close matches with Sporting Lisbon, the French team has an excellent six points and a real chance to reach the knockout stage of the elite competition.
Last night, the team led by Igor Tudor won 0:2 at the Jose Alvalade stadium with goals from Guendouzi and Alexis Sanchez and made history! Namely, Marseille is the first French club that managed to celebrate on the soil of Portugal – the infamous streak lasted 19 games.
“It’s a fantastic feeling. We had a good game from start to finish. We fully deserved the three points. Now, with these six points, we can dream of going to the round of 16. The team is in good shape, at a good time,” said Tudor.
The Croatian expert was praised by the legendary striker of Marseille – Didier Drogba, who points out that the former coach of Verona, Udinese, Galatasaray, PAOK and Hajduk is also important to the team.
“What’s great is to see the impact Tudor has on this team. His energy is reflected throughout the entire team,” Drogba told Canal +.
In the uncertain group “D”, anything is possible – Tottenham has seven points, Marseille and Sporting have six each, while Eintracht has four points.
In the next round of the Champions League, Marseille will play against Eintracht in Frankfurt, while Tottenham will welcome the Sporting team in London.
