Europa League: OM collapse at Besiktas (4-1)
Marseille suffered a heavy defeat in Turkey in their debut in European competition, their fourth consecutive loss across all competitions.
Olympique de Marseille got off to a difficult start in their European campaign, according to France 24. The Provençal club suffered a heavy defeat to Besiktas (4-1) in Turkey, in their first match of the Europa League phase.
This defeat marks, according to the same source, OM's fourth consecutive loss across all competitions.
The schedule offers little respite for the Marseille team, which must now turn its attention to a major French league fixture: the classic match against Paris Saint-Germain, scheduled for Sunday at the Vélodrome stadium.
France 24 does not provide details in its excerpt about the goal scorers during the Istanbul match, nor the reaction of the club following this disappointing performance.
