Olympique de Marseille's Champions League Hopes Waver After Third Straight Loss

Adrien Rabiot criticizes teammates' lack of ambition following a 3-1 defeat to Reims, threatening OM's second-place Ligue 1 standing.

OM suffered a 3-1 defeat to Stade de Reims, marking their third consecutive loss and fourth in six matches in Ligue 1.
Adrien Rabiot, stepping in as captain after Leonardo Balerdi's injury, publicly criticized his teammates for lacking hunger and ambition to secure UEFA Champions League qualification.
The defeat exposed OM's defensive and offensive weaknesses, particularly in duels, counter-pressing, and set-piece defense.
Rabiot emphasized the importance of Champions League qualification, urging players without ambition to step aside for the remaining seven matches of the season.
Limited preparation due to the international break was noted as a factor, but Rabiot called for a shift in mentality to salvage OM's precarious second-place position.
