OM did not digest the scenario of the match in Lens on Saturday, having led to their 2-1 defeat. The goal denied to Alexis Sanchez, perhaps crucial in the race for the C1, forced the club to issue a press release on Tuesday. LFP and referees are clearly targeted by the Phocaeans.
Second place in Ligue 1, the Champions League and several tens of millions of euros, this is what Clément Turpin’s decision may have cost OM on Saturday evening. The French international referee has decided to cancel Alexis Sanchez’s opener, following consulting the VAR, for a foul on Lensois defender Kevin Danso. A decision that did not pass to Igor Tudor, to the players questioned as well as to the lovers of the Olympian club. Misunderstanding and anger were also present within the Marseille management, which reacted to this new unfavorable decision with an official press release on Tuesday evening.

OM exasperated at being penalized in Ligue 1
« After 34 days, Olympique de Marseille sees an accumulation of decisions taken once morest it during the 2022-2023 season. Olympique de Marseille always wishes to maintain a very constructive approach vis-à-vis the authorities and all players in French football. Nevertheless, Olympique de Marseille is now forced to react as the club faces a large number of contentious decisions already having a major impact on the course of its season. “, Indicates the Marseille club before detailing precisely the facts which pose a problem.

« On the one hand, OM regrets the unfair treatment linked to a lack of uniformity in the application of the rules for the use of VAR. While the decision to let Alexis Sanchez play following contact with a Lensois defender (J34; RCL-OM; 2-1) is considered a manifest error by the VAR, the clear sole of the Monegasque defender not whistled on Sead Kolasinac in the penalty area (J20; OM-ASM; 1-1) was not. Other refereeing decisions have also been greatly unfavorable to OM, impacting for example the final result of the matches once morest PSG (J11; 1-0; hand in the box) or once morest RCSA (J27; 2-2; exclusion by Leonardo Balerdi) “, develops OM.
But, beyond arbitration, the LFP was charged as a whole by OM. The calendar and the sanctions once morest his supporters do not pass. ” OM notes glaring inconsistencies in the development of sports calendars. OM had, with the return from the international breaks in September and March and despite a large number of internationals in its ranks, to deal with matches scheduled for Friday evening, i.e. less than 48 hours following the return from selection of some of its senior players (J9; SCO-OM; 0-3 and J29; OM-MHSC; 1-1). OM also suffered the impact of a French Cup final scheduled in the middle of a championship day (J33). […] Finally, OM are surprised by certain decisions of the LFP Disciplinary Committee. The club notes that it was, following the use of pyrotechnic devices by its groups of supporters, sanctioned with a partial closure of the south bend during the match OM-RC Lens (J12). On the other hand, in a comparable context, the same applicable sanction was not pronounced before the return match played last Saturday “, concludes OM by asking for more ” respect for it and more consistency in future decisions “. After the departure of Aulas from OL, OM seem ready to succeed him in the active contestation of the LFP.
