Marseille loses 1-0 to Olympiacos in the Europa League
Marseille lost 1-0 to Olympiacos in the Europa League on Thursday at the Vélodrome in France.
It was the club's sixth defeat in eight matches under Bruno Genesio, who recently took charge as coach.
Marseille had beaten Troyes 2-0 in the league on Sunday, but that narrow win did not end its run of poor results.
The team was short of players after spending cuts imposed over the summer, and commentators said its squad limits were again evident.
Fans booed the players as they left the pitch, showing that supporters' patience is wearing thin.
Marseille next travels to face Angers in the league, then visits Sturm Graz in the Europa League.
It will not play at home again until its match against Le Havre in ten days.

OM-Olympiacos: "Je suis en train de passer de la critique à la pitié", le terrible constat de Riolo sur Marseille
« En ce moment, on voit le but tout petit » : encore muette face à l'Olympiakos et en manque de leaders, l'attaque de l'OM n'en finit plus d'inquiéter
What people are saying
I am moving from criticism of OM to pity. I feel sorry for them, actually.
For me, OM should not lose this match, but they lose it against a team that is normally inferior.
