Olympique de Marseille made a huge stride towards securing their place in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Europa League, beating Villarreal 4-0 at the Vélodrome on Thursday, however, interim manager Jean-Louis Gasset struck a cautious tone post-match.
The build-up to the match was dominated by talk of Marcelino’s return to the belly of the beast. The Spaniard left Marseille in highly acrimonious circumstances earlier in the season, and he had the chance to exact revenge on Thursday night. However, his side were not at the races. OM carry a 4-0 lead into the second leg and therefore have one foot in the quarter-finals, however, Gasset isn’t getting ahead of himself.
