In a public statement posted to LinkedIn Olympique de Marseille President Pablo Longoria took a moment to think about the season of his club 2024–25 – a characterized by both adversity and repayment. The Spaniard framed OM's qualification for the UEFA Champions League of next season not as a prize, but as a declaration of resilience and unit.
“This is not a reward. It is a recapture. And a statement,” Longoria wrote, days after their place in Europe had protected elite with a 3-1 win away to Le Havre on Saturday evening. The result has concluded a dramatic but ultimately successful campaign, in which the club has passed some internal turbulence and non -repellent external pressure.
“Many tried to get us down,” Longoria continued. “Some sowed doubt, tried to create the division and bet on our collapse. But this club was determined – because men and women chose within unity. Because they believed in this project as something they owned. Each in their place.”
His comments ethically ethical tifo that was avoided by OM fans during the home game of 2 March against Nantes, with the text: “Seuls Contre Tous” (only against everyone). Longoria admitted the message that 'moves deeply' and led him during the campaign. The Spaniard used just a month ago LinkedIn as a platform to ask for a unit after the defeat of Les Olympiens against Monaco (3-0) who saw them stumble in the race for the Champions League. Yet Marseille managed to win three of their last four games to guarantee the qualification for Europe's Premier competition. GFFN | George Boxall
