Olympic Marseille manager, Andre Villa-Boas has criticized his team after they lost 0-3 to Porto in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday.
Villas-Boas said his Marseille side were ‘s***’ in the defeat to the Portuguese side at the Estadio do Dragao as they went down with a whimper.
That defeat also means that it is now 12 consecutive matches that they have suffered losses to equal the figure set by Belgian outfit Anderlecht between 2003 and 2005 and Villas-Boas did not hold back in his criticism of his charges.
“To be s*** in the Champions League you need to at least be in it. “We are in it and we are doing s***.”
Marseille’s miserable run started when losing three games in the 2011/12 edition of the competition.
Then lost all six group games in the 2013/14 campaign before returning to the competition this season after a seven-year absence after AVB led them to a 2nd place Ligue 1 finish last term.
But they are still without a point yet after playing their opening three games in Group C. They lost 1-0 away to Olympiakos and 3-0 at home to Manchester City before their latest setback.
