Facundo Medina prepares for Bayer Leverkusen reunion with former club OM

Bayer Leverkusen defender Facundo Medina is preparing for an intense Europa League matchup against his former club, Olympique de Marseille. The Argentine international anticipates a physical duel where small details will determine the outcome, noting that OM possesses many experienced players.

Medina has expressed personal reflections regarding his sudden departure from Marseille to join Leverkusen. He admitted in an interview with L’Équipe that he regrets not being able to say proper goodbyes to the club staff, particularly those performing invisible work behind the scenes, due to the last-minute nature of his transfer.

While Bayer Leverkusen enters the match having won their first three competition games without conceding a goal, Marseille seeks to build on recent momentum in Ligue 1 to secure their first points in the tournament.
