Reactions from Geoffrey Kondogbia, Leonardo Balerdi and Amine Gouiri, speaking to Canal+ after the 3-0 defeat in Bruges and OM's elimination from the 2025-2026 Champions League.

Geoffrey Kondogbia: ‘We got what we deserved.’

"We didn't see what happened live, we just followed the score. It's our performance that needs to be looked at beyond the Benfica match. The scenario is incredible, but we need to talk about our performance above all else. Football is fair: we conceded six goals in two Champions League matches. This competition is unforgiving, as we saw tonight. Football gives you what you deserve, and we got what we deserved.‘

 

 

Leonardo Balerdi: ’It's hard to take‘

’It's hard to take tonight. We came here with high hopes, but we didn't do well. They started better than us and we need to lift our heads up now. Tonight is going to be very difficult. It all comes down to the details and we're paying for it tonight. Tomorrow, we'll have to think about the league, there are things to do. It's difficult today, but we have to lift our heads up tomorrow."

 

 

Amine Gouiri: ‘We blew our game.’

"We blew our game; we shouldn't have counted on others. We conceded three goals, and that cost us qualification. It's a cruel scenario because we conceded three goals and blew our game. We had to win or get a point. We didn't qualify and we're very disappointed. With the way we played, we don't deserve anything. We still have the league and the Coupe de France. We'll have to recover quickly because we have a match in two days."
