On Wednesday evening, OM suffered yet another terrible disappointment, being eliminated from the Coupe de France in the quarter-finals at home against Toulouse (2-2, 4-3 after penalties).

Undermined by misses from Leonardo Balerdi and the young Ethan Nwaneri, it must be said that OM had every reason to be nervous when stepping up for the penalty shootout.

It's simple: in the last four editions of the Coupe de France, OM have been eliminated on penalties. There was Annecy, Rennes, Lille, and now Toulouse.

In the long run, Marseille's record in penalty shootouts across all competitions is even worse. The Phocéens have only won four of their last 14 penalty shootouts.

The situation is particularly harsh for Leonardo Balerdi, who, for the second time in four years, missed his penalty at the Vélodrome in a Coupe de France quarter-final.

Habib Beye also makes history in the competition by becoming the first coach to be eliminated twice from the Coupe de France in the same season. Ironically, his first elimination happened just a few weeks ago... already against OM at the Vélodrome.
