Marseille has gotten support for their Europa League tie against Atalanta from the very top of the French hierarchy
With excitement building ahead of the Europa League semi-final second leg between Atalanta and Olympique Marseille, even France's President, Emmanuel Macron, has made a prediction.
All to play for in Europa League semi-final
Marseille and Atalanta drew 1-1 in their first meeting at the Stade Velodrome. Gianluca Scamacca's opener for Atalanta was quickly cancelled out by Chancel Mbemba's strike, leaving the tie poised for a crucial second leg.
With no away goals rule in effect, the forthcoming match at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo promises to be a nail-biter, with both teams competing for a berth in the Final. It's a duel in which only the victor will advance, putting further pressure on both sides to create a remarkable performance.
Macron's Bold Prediction: Marseille Triumph
During an interview with La Provence newspaper, President Macron, a dedicated supporter of Olympique Marseille, shared his anticipation for the upcoming match saying, "What a beautiful match we have to look forward to," before boldly predicting a 3-1 victory for Marseille, adding, “OM really has a great group of supporters. I believe it will be a Marseille victory, 3-1.”
Both Atalanta and Marseille are hoping to reach the Europa League final with the chance to face either Roma or Bayer Leverkusen to save middling campaigns.
