OM qualified for the eighth European semi-final in their history by eliminating Benfica. After several months of hardship, tension, and agitation, Jean-Louis Gasset's men offered a nice dose of happiness to their public.
At the beginning of May (first leg in Marseille on the 2nd, return to Italy on the 9th), the partners of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, decisive passer for Faris Moumbagna, will battle with Atalanta Bergamo. The poster is balanced. Enough to hint at the sweet dream of qualifying for the final on May 22 in Dublin, against AS Roma or Bayer Leverkusen. "We dream of everything. We dream of these evenings. It's an epic unfolding. One season, she judges herself at the end. We're here, it's the third round that I've been through personally. We want to go as far as possible," says Gassett. 'It's a competition that suits us well. We beat Shakhtar here, we beat Villarreal who are a very good team, we eliminate Benfique who are a third-ranked opponent, with a remodeled team, with players who make the sacrifice of playing in positions that are not theirs. "
