Uefa Champions League UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - 2020/21 SEASON MATCH PRESS KITS Stadio Georgios Karaiskakis - Piraeus Wednesday 21 October 2020 Olympiacos FC 21.00CET (22.00 local time) Olympique de Marseille Group C - Matchday 1 Last updated 29/10/2020 15:32CET UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE OFFICIAL SPONSORS Match background 2 Legend 5 1 Olympiacos FC - Olympique de Marseille Wednesday 21 October 2020 - 21.00CET (22.00 local time) Match press kit Stadio Georgios Karaiskakis, Piraeus Match background Marseille's first UEFA Champions League group campaign in seven years kicks off at Olympiacos, who have been unable to plot a way to the round of 16 in recent campaigns. • While the French club are making their first appearance in the group stage since 2013/14, Group C rivals Olympiacos are featuring for the eighth time in ten seasons – but only one of those campaigns has extended into the knockout phase. Previous meetings • Both games ended in a 1-0 away win when the teams were paired together in the 2011/12 group stage. Marseille's Lucho González scored the only goal in Piraeus on Matchday 1; Giannis Fetfatzidis did the same for Olympiacos at the Stade Vélodrome when Mathieu Valbuena, now at Olympiacos, played 71 minutes for the French team. However, it was the French side who progressed, finishing second behind Arsenal on ten points – one ahead of Olympiacos. • Marseille also came out on top in the teams' 1994/95 UEFA Cup first round tie, winning 2-1 away and 3-0 at home. Form guide Olympiacos • Olympiacos are in the group stage for the 20th time. In 2019/20 they finished third in their section behind eventual champions Bayern München and Tottenham Hotspur, picking up four points to finish one ahead of Crvena zvezda. • Pedro Martins' side then earned a famous win against Arsenal in the UEFA Europa League round of 32, progressing on away goals after a 2-2 aggregate draw (0-1 h, 2-1 a), but came unstuck against another English club in the last 16, losing to Wolves (1-1 h, 0-1 a). • The Piraeus club made it four UEFA Champions League play-off wins from four ties by defeating Cypriot club Omonoia this season (2-0 h, 0-0 a). • Those results stretched Olympiacos's unbeaten run in European qualifying fixtures to 18 matches (W14 D4), home and away, since a 1-0 loss at Hapoel Beer-Sheva in the 2016/17 UEFA Champions League third qualifying round. They had won all seven matches in the UEFA Champions League play-offs before this season's draw at Omonoia. • Champions of Greece for the 45th time in 2019/20 – their first title since 2017 – Olympiacos also lifted the Greek Cup for the 28th time to complete their 18th domestic double. • Olympiacos last faced French opponents in the 2013/14 UEFA Champions League group stage, losing 4-1 at home and 2-1 away against Paris Saint-Germain. That reverse in Piraeus made it five defeats in their last six home games against Ligue 1 clubs. • Three of Olympiacos' first six games against French clubs ended in draws, but none of the last 22 (W8 L14). Marseille • Marseille are making their tenth appearance in the UEFA Champions League group stage, but their first since 2013/14. Three of those previous nine campaigns have extended into the knockout rounds, including the inaugural edition in 1992/93 when OM became the first, and so far only, French side to win the European Cup. • Marseille most recently made the knockout stages in 2011/12, when they reached the quarter-finals. • Seven years ago, OM finished bottom of their group behind Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund and Napoli, losing all six games. • That extended Marseille's losing run in the UEFA Champions League to nine matches. Their last success in the competition was a 1-0 home victory against Internazionale in the 2011/12 round of 16 first leg. • Second in Ligue 1 in 2019/20, Marseille have not taken part in UEFA competition since 2018/19. Then they finished bottom of a UEFA Europa League section also including Eintracht Frankfurt, Lazio and Apollon Limassol with one point having lost five of their six matches. • Marseille are without a win in eight European matches, losing seven, since a 2-0 victory at home to Salzburg in the 2017/18 UEFA Europa League semi-final first leg. They went on to lose the second leg 2-1 but still progressed to the final, where they were beaten 3-0 by Atlético de Madrid in Lyon. • Marseille have finished outside the top two in their UEFA Champions League group in five of their last seven participations. • Their four fixtures against Olympiacos aside, OM have played only one other tie against a Greek club, beating AEK Athens in the 1989/90 European Champion Clubs' Cup first round (2-0 h, 1-1 a). • A 2-1 win at Athletic Club in the 2017/18 UEFA Europa League round of 16 second leg is Marseille's only victory in 2 Olympiacos FC - Olympique de Marseille Wednesday 21 October 2020 - 21.00CET (22.00 local time) Match press kit Stadio Georgios Karaiskakis, Piraeus their last 13 European away games (D5 L7). Links and trivia • Valbuena made 331 appearances for Marseille between 2006 and 2014, scoring 38 goals.

Aρχηγοί Kώστας Φορτούνης Αβραάμ Παπαδόπουλος It is still unknown whether the group of friends attending this historic Ομάρ Ελαμπντελαουί general meeting, in 1925, at Moira’s restaurant and drafting the articles Βασίλης Τοροσίδης of association –part of which you just read above- had the slightest Ανδρέας Μπουχαλάκης Συνίσταται εν Πειραιεί υπό τον τίτλο ‘’Ολυμπιακός Σύνδεσμος Φιλάθλων Πειραιώς'' idea of the history they were about to make. Their objective, in the Γκιλιέρμε Σωματείον, ούτινος σκοπός είναι η ανάπτυξις της σωματικής αγωγής παρά τη words of Michalis Manouskos, was to establish a club that would inspire νεολαία και η κατά πάντα φίλαθλον τρόπον εξύψωσις αυτής.

  • Ligue 1 Guide 2021/22
    2021/2022 Ligue 1 Preview Guide INTRODUCTION After a historically close title race that saw four teams in the running Ligue 1 is back with no small amount of fanfare following a busy summer. Of those four sides, while Lille and Lyon have been relatively quiet as they try to consolidate under new managers, Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain have been eager participants in the mercato, buying well in a way that addresses the two sides’ needs. Nice and Rennes have also done some canny business in the offseason, to say nothing of Marseille’s flood of arrivals, but the discussions about pro- spective title favorites in France have to start and end with the capital side. Even as rumors swirl around the potential departure of Kylian Mbappé, it’s hard to argue that Paris Saint-Ger- main haven’t done their utmost to convince their young star to stay. At least, that is, if one judges by their transfer activity. The arrivals of Sergio Ramos, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Georginio Wijnaldum, and Achraf Hakimi have bolstered Mauricio Pochettino’s side in key areas whilst also adding another layer of dynamism. If he can keep his squad happy and balanced, this team looks as potent as any in Europe, Elsewhere, Monaco are probably best-equipped to challenge, even as they will have to contend with playing European football. The arrivals of Myron Boadu, Alexander Nübel and Ismail Jakobs look to be upgrades, and so long as Niko Kovac’s exciting, front-foot football remains in place and so do all of its key elements.

Arsenal's third successive UEFA Europa League group stage campaign began with three straight wins but they stuttered thereafter and needed a late comeback at Standard Liège on Matchday 6 to qualify as Group F winners. Previous meetings • The clubs have been paired together four times in the UEFA Champions League group stage, and on every occasion Arsenal have staged the home fixture on Matchday 2 and Olympiacos the return game on Matchday 6. • The first six matches between them – in 2009/10, 2011/12 and 2012/13 – all ended in home wins, but last time out, in 2015/16, the roles were reversed, Olympiacos winning 3-2 in north London only to succumb to a 0-3 defeat at home.
