The 1993 Champions League final between OM and AC Milan is one of the worst defeats in Jean-Pierre Papin's career.
August 31,
Hervé Mathoux will present the “Canal Football Club” for the 18th consecutive year. During the summer, the 58 -year -old journalist extracted from sport to animate “formidable failures” on Europe 1.
The concept of this program is as follows: question personalities about their failures. How did they manage to overcome them? Clovis Cornillac, Maud Fontenoy, Karine Tuil, Marie-Claude Pietragalla or Denis Podalydès were thus questioned by the pillar of the CFC on this subject.
Hervé Mathoux regrets that footballers do not often want to talk about their defeats. “There is an example that struck and saddened me. In 2023, we had shot a long format on the 30 years of OM victory in the Champions League. And
Jean-Pierre Papin had refused to participate by saying: 'I am not talking about defeats'. And I found it so shame because if there is a person who has interesting things to say about this OM-AC Milan final (1-0), it's him! “, he entrusted during an interview given to The team.
JPP, every time in the wrong camp
For the record, the 1991 Ballon d'Or had left the Marseille city in 1992 to join AC Milan. The Italian club was probably the best club in the world at the time. This will not prevent Didier Deschamps and his teammates from triumphing in Munich on May 26, 1993 and thus lifting the C1.
“That evening, he is not in the right camp while being a little in that of the winners anyway for everything he brought to Marseille the previous seasons. I find that over time you have to know how to sublimate a defeat, time makes it rich ”estimates the native of Clermont-Ferrand. “JPP” therefore knew the failure for the second time in his career in the Champions League final, after that of Bari, against the Red Star in Belgrade, in 1991.
