Atalanta-OM: at what time and on which channel to watch the Europa League semi-final return?

All OM fans are holding their breath. The Marseillais travel to Atalanta Bergamo this Thursday evening, as part of the Europa League semi-final return leg. Coach Jean-Louis Gasset’s men have the opportunity to reach the final of this European Cup, six years after the 2018 edition, against Atletico Madrid (3-0 defeat in Lyon).

Marseille supporters are hoping for a better outcome than that of their eternal Parisian rivals, defeated at home at the Parc des Princes against Borussia Dortmund in the semi-final second leg of the Champions League. A week after the draw conceded at the Stade Vélodrome (1-1), the Olympians can become the only French club to play in a European final this season if they win in regulation time, in extra time or on penalties.

Three television channels affected

For those who will not attend the match this Thursday evening at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo, two French broadcasters will broadcast the semi-final return live. First, the Canal+ group, which will offer European evening before the match simultaneously on Canal+ and Canal+ Foot from 8:25 p.m. around Clément Gacheny, before the semi-final. The match is scheduled to kick off at 9 p.m., followed by European evening from 11 p.m. (or later in the event of extra time/shootouts) to debrief the match.

Also, viewers can choose to go to M6 to follow the semi-final return in full. Xavier Domergue and Jean-Marc Ferreri will take the air from 8:50 p.m., and will provide commentary for the game until its end.

The Europa League final will be played on May 22 at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, and will pit the winner of the Atalanta-OM match against the winner of the double confrontation between Bayer Leverkusen and AS Roma.
