Marseille's karma: Mock PSG and fall in stoppage time

Reading Time: 2min | Sun. 09.03.25. | 11:32

Olympique fans chanted "Liverpool, Liverpool" to make fun of the Saints and their devastating UCL defeat, only to concede in the dying minutes at home for the first time since 2018 and lose to Lens at home - 1-0

The principle of karma is pretty simple - what goes around comes around. And Marseille felt it well last night. Given that Paris Saint-Germain have been "terrorizing" Ligue 1 since 2013 - with only two failures in the title quest - their greatest rivals don't have many possibilities to mock the Saints. Except for when it comes to the UEFA Champions League and the Parisians' numerous failed attempts to win the most precious European trophy.

Even though Luis Enrique's men were more than dominant against Liverpool, they still lost 1-0 at Parc des Princes and will hardly advance to the UCL quarter-finals. A good enough reason for Marseille fans to use one of the rare opportunities to laugh at the team from the capital.

And while the crowd at Velodrome mockingly chanted "Liverpool, Liverpool" their boys fell short against Lens, conceding a goal in stoppage time for the first time at home since 2018! The visitors from the north snatched the victory against futile Marseille in the 94th minute when the Moroccan Neil El Aynaoui "stabbed them in the heart," bringing a significant triumph to his team.

On the other hand, Roberto De Zerbi's crew could consequently lose the second spot if Nice beat Lyon tonight at home (22.45). Marseille's karma would then be complete.
