Marseille Furious After Controversial Loss to Auxerre (0-3). OM wants to leave Ligue 1 for the Super League !
The Olympique de Marseille endured a nightmare match against Auxerre, suffering a heavy 3-0 defeat in Ligue 1. However, beyond their poor performance, the club is outraged by the refereeing of Jérémy Stinat, particularly regarding Derek Cornelius’ controversial red card.
Fabrizio Ravanelli, OM’s institutional advisor, slammed the referee’s decisions on DAZN, while coach Roberto De Zerbi admitted his team played poorly but also criticized the officiating.
Longoria’s Explosive Accusation: “This is Corruption”
OM president Pablo Longoria took things further, alleging a deliberate bias against Marseille. He labeled the situation as “organized corruption,” claiming the referee’s decisions—such as denying a penalty for Quentin Merlin—were scandalous.
His frustration reached its peak, as he reportedly told La Provence:
“This is a sht league. If OM gets an offer from the Super League, we leave immediately.”*
A shocking statement that could fuel new tensions between OM, Ligue 1, and the refereeing authorities. Will Marseille seriously consider joining the breakaway Super League, or is this just a reaction to frustration? One thing is certain: this controversy is far from over.
