Two years ago #OTD I lived one of the best and most exciting games at the Stade Vélodrome from Marseille. Olympique de Marseille knocked out Leipzig from Europa League at the quarter-final stage after a wild second leg.

That's me with the sort of energy you can't fake.
It was my second game at the Vélodrome after my Argentinian journey. I decide to go to Marseille just three days before the kickoff, I have very good friends in town and they could get me a ticket. Packed my bag with my classic Adidas OM jersey
Match-day and it is as rainy as fuck. I got my Olympique raincoat and was time to have a proper 'pastis' at Le Panier. Blessed by @chriswaddle93, then I decided to go to the stadium by walking. Perfect time to take photos of the stadium.
Next to the ultras shop, you can see PSG it is no very welcome, fortunately as Newell's member and Bielsa fan I get invited to join a group of OM fans and share some 'pastis'. Pyro, beers and the famous 'Jean Michel Aulas' song.
I met my friends and we get into the stadium, OM fans were very nervous but positive at the same time. Stunning choreography and several astonishing tifos on the Vélodrome, the place was rocking, it was savage!
A rush of goals for OM and electric come back led by Dimitri Payet in superstar mode.

Tumultuous celebrations and pyro reaching the sky to realize they are not joking. There were so much emotion and colour in the stands, the Vélodrome vibrated and every song rooted in love.
