"26 matches of shit": Medina's brutal admission on his failed OM spell

Medina admits his OM spell was a disaster, calling his 26 appearances "shit" before facing his former club in Europa League.

Facundo Medina has been brutally honest about his failed season at Olympique Marseille ahead of Thursday's Europa League clash between his current club Bayer Leverkusen and the French side.

The Argentine defender, who joined OM in summer 2025 for €18 million from RC Lens, played just 26 matches before departing for the Bundesliga in summer 2026. In an interview with Canal+, Medina made no attempt to soften his assessment: "26 matches? 26 matches of shit. I did nothing."

OM sold Medina to Leverkusen for €25 million, making him their second-biggest sale of the summer after Mason Greenwood. Despite his poor form at Marseille, Medina says he harbours no ill will and is looking forward to the reunion. "It will be special, I'm happy. I'll see my teammates and friends. Honestly, I'm excited," he told Canal+. At Leverkusen, Medina has quickly established himself as a regular starter under manager Carles Martínez Novell, with the club sitting fourth in the Bundesliga and second in the Europa League standings.
