AI summary
French media gave Beşiktaş widespread credit for their 4-1 demolition of Marseille in the Europa League's opening round. L'Équipe ran the headline "They learned their lesson," while Le Monde called Beşiktaş's superiority "indisputable." Foot Mercato highlighted the hosts' fiery atmosphere and high tempo, which overwhelmed the visitors' defence. Ouest-France noted that Marseille's energy lasted only 45 minutes; they competed in the first half but collapsed after the break as Cerny and Murillo struck in quick succession. French outlets attributed the gulf in class partly to Marseille's financial constraints and thin squad depth.
