Payet: “It's the victory of all Marseillais”

16,169 days is a long time.

More than forty-four years later, Olympique de Marseille finally won in Bordeaux , this Friday evening. To the delight of Dimitri Payet. “ We will say that it is historical. I lived eight or nine years where we came here and unfortunately, we did not win. This evening we put an end to the longest series in the history of Ligue 1 and believe me, we are proud

, smiled the No. 10 Olympian at the microphone of Prime Video at the final whistle, refusing, however, to get carried away after this beautiful evening. We must be careful, because, from experience, when we win important matches like tonight, we often tends to relax. But what reassures me is that we have Lille and Lens behind, so I think the group will be affected, because these are two Champions League matches. ”
