December 2025
Marseille’s four-game unbeaten run ended with a flat 1-0 defeat at Lille as Ethan Mbappe’s early goal proved decisive. Roberto De Zerbi reacted angrily, blasting his players’ lack of aggression and lamenting that star forward Mason Greenwood managed only one shot on target all night. De Zerbi said Marseille “didn’t string three passes together”, lost every second ball and never showed their usual intensity, branding the display “bad, bad” and “unacceptable” for OM. With the chance to go above PSG wasted, he insisted everyone must take the performance personally.
