Mason Greenwood missed a penalty as Marseille lost 2-0 to Brest in a major blow to their Champions League hopes. The game marked Habib Beye's first in charge of the Ligue 1 club, since taking over from former manager Roberto De Zerbi amid a poor run of form in the French top-flight.
Former Manchester United stars Angel Gomes and Mason Greenwood were both on the scoresheet to fire Marseille back to the summit of Ligue 1 on Saturday in a 3-0 win over Brest. It was a much-needed victory for Roberto De Zerbi's side after a turbulent few weeks, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang also on target for the hosts at the Stade Velodrome.
Brest boss Eric Roy has explained why rivals preferred to face the Paris Saint-Germain of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe rather than Luis Enrique’s class of 2025. The Ligue 1 giants mimicked the ‘Galactico’ recruitment model of Real Madrid at one point, as they assembled a squad of superstars, but are now considered to be more of a complete unit.
