French media single out Ethan Nwaneri as his woeful penalty miss costs Marseille dearly
18-year-old Arsenal loanee Ethan Nwaneri is under fire from French media after his missed penalty led to Marseille’s elimination from the Coupe de France quarter-finals. Arsenal loanee Ethan Nwaneri faces intense scrutiny after missing the decisive penalty in Marseille’s Coupe de France shootout loss to Toulouse. Entering as a half-time substitute, the 18-year-old hit the woodwork in regulation but fired his spot-kick over the bar. French outlets were critical, with L’Equipe awarding him a 4/10 and branding him the individual who “let qualification slip” through his fingers. Questions have emerged regarding why the teenager shouldered such immense pressure. So Foot questioned why he took the final penalty, while Foot Mercato noted the substitution “unbalanced the defensive block.” Despite his effort, media consensus suggests the responsibility “should have fallen to others.” This setback marks a difficult turn for Nwaneri’s loan spell following the recent departure of manager Roberto De Zerbi. -
Former Barcelona defender claims ‘better than Messi’s at free-kicks
Jérémy Mathieu has explained that his decision to work at an Intersport store was driven by a need for social interaction while navigating personal legal and mental health challenges.
Former Barcelona defender Jérémy Mathieu, who won the Champions League with Barcelona in 2015, has clarified his transition to working as a shop assistant.
The 42-year-old former France international revealed he is currently managing personal legal issues.
“If I’m working at Intersport, it’s because something’s going on that’s causing me a lot of problems,” Mathieu stated, noting, “It was to have a social life.”
The former defender, who also battled depression following his 2023 retirement, found the position through a former teammate.
Mathieu admitted, “He knew I wanted to leave the house for a bit.”
While he remains focused on resolving his current situation, he fondly recalled his playing days, humorously claiming, “I think I was better at free-kicks than him [Lionel Messi]!”

1. Match Summary
Toulouse secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Lorient in a tightly contested match. The game was decided late by a goal from Emersonn in the 81st minute, assisted by Cristian Cásseres Jr. While Lorient dominated possession, Toulouse proved more clinical in front of goal and defended resolutely to secure all three points. The match saw a flurry of yellow cards, indicating a physical and competitive encounter.
2. Team Performance Analysis
Toulouse: Toulouse demonstrated a pragmatic approach, prioritizing defensive solidity and capitalizing on limited opportunities. Their statistics reveal a focus on attacking within the box (8 shots inside the box compared to Lorient's 3). Despite having less possession (42% vs Lorient's 58%), they were more efficient with their passing (83% accuracy). Their expected goals (xG) of 1.15 suggests they created the better chances, and the single goal reflects this. The two yellow cards suggest a degree of tactical fouling.
Lorient: Lorient controlled the ball for the majority of the game, boasting 58% possession and a higher pass accuracy (89%). However, they struggled to translate this dominance into clear-cut chances, evidenced by their low xG of 0.40 and only 2 shots on goal. Their four corner kicks didn't yield any goals. The three yellow cards and a higher foul count (10) indicate a frustrated and potentially overly aggressive approach in their attempts to break down Toulouse's defense. Their goalkeeper was kept busy, making 3 saves, highlighting Toulouse's attacking threat despite their lower possession.
