Marseille drop points with last-minute defeat in Lisbon
Despite a valiant second half, Marseille were caught off guard by Sporting Portugal in the final minutes. “It’s scandalous,” said Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, OM’s Gabonese striker. Marseille had been riding high after an almost perfect first half, but the turning point of the match came when Emerson Palmieri was shown a red card. This marked Marseille’s second defeat in the Champions League.
