The first is 0-3 at home against Paris Saint-Germain, where we never existed. The second is against Annecy. This double blow to the head hurt me a lot, and as a fan, I reacted with the extremes it brought. (…) It was a fan’s disappointment. I’ve never hidden it, I’ve been a fan of OM since I was little and it was disappointing to the fan who spoke.“
