Olympique de Marseille fell into a formidable group with Ajax Amsterdam, English club Brighton and AEK Athens for the group stage of the Europa League, the draw of which was made on Friday in Monaco. Rennes also inherited a strong group with Villarreal, winner of the trophy in 2021, Maccabi Haifa, who played in the Champions League last season, and Panathinaikos Athens, who fell OM this summer and then eliminated in the play-offs from the C1. The fate was a little less harsh with the third French club engaged. If Toulouse is in the group of Liverpool, the other adversaries, the Austrians Linz ASK and the Union Saint-Gilloise, a club of Brussels, are more accessible.
