Olympique de Marseille ended the group stage of the Europa League with an almost one-sided final, unfortunately to their disadvantage. While the club only needed a draw to claim first place, they delivered a lackluster performance on the Brighton pitch, who did not steal their victory despite often vain domination. The English confiscated the ball for a long time and Gennaro Gattuso’s men ended up accepting this idea of defending, helped indirectly by a team not always inspired in the last gesture. In terms of pressing and keeping the ball, everything was a little too complicated for the Phocaeans.
