L’Olympic Marseille inherited the Villarreal of Marcelino in the round of 16 of the Europa League. The draw, carried out this Friday in Nyon in Switzerland, was rather lenient with the Olympians who could have fallen on Liverpool, Bayer Leverkusen or even Atalanta Bergamo. Pablo Longoria reacted immediately to this draw:
« Being opposed to Villarreal CF is first of all synonymous with solidarity that I want to show for the region to which we will soon travel because the people there are going through very difficult times after the tragic events that occurred last night in the fire of Valenceaffirmed the Marseille president. Regarding the field, playing against this club in the round of 16 of the Europa League represents a very good showing against an institution used to competing in the European Cup. Continuing our good run this season in this event, this draw represents a great opportunity for Olympique de Marseille to progress by competing against the winner of the 2021 event. We look forward to it “, he added.
