Olympique de Marseille secured a solid 3-1 victory against Athletic Bilbao in a preparatory match held this Sunday at the Vélodrome. This encounter marked Bruno Genesio's home debut as coach of OM, a moment regarded as very special by the coach, who has previously managed teams such as Lyon, Rennes, and Lille.

The match served as a training exercise to prepare for the resumption of Ligue 1. The players' performances and Genesio's tactical setup will be closely monitored as OM gears up for the new season.
