Nantes-Marseille: Heroic Canaries, Aubameyang and Greenwood in the shadows, an untrainable OM... The highs and lows

Le Figaro's sports desk dissects another dismal performance from Olympique de Marseille, this time a 3-0 defeat away at Nantes, which deepens the club's crisis. The headline itself, 'Nantes-Marseille: heroic Canaries, Aubameyang and Greenwood stayed in the locker room, an untrainable OM... The tops and flops,' immediately signals the stark contrast in team fortunes. While Nantes, fighting for survival in Ligue 1, displayed "courage and bravery," seizing their opportunity with a flurry of second-half goals, Marseille offered "nothing" in return. The report highlights Nantes' offensive trio—Ganago, Cabella, and Abline—who scored in quick succession, a remarkable feat for a team with the league's worst attack. Conversely, OM's performance is described as "pitiful and untrainable," with their first half labeled the "worst of the season." The criticism extends to key players like Greenwood and Aubameyang, whose "unacceptable" nonchalance and lack of defensive contribution are called out. This match not only underscores Marseille's ongoing struggles and what appears to be their "most humiliating season in history" but also offers a glimmer of hope for Nantes in their battle against relegation, demonstrating that even struggling teams can find moments of brilliance.
