Benatia noted that this ambition isn’t merely an added pressure. “It’s what we’ve agreed upon from the start. If you’ve finished second last year by, I don’t know how many points, this year you should be ambitious,” he remarked, highlighting the determination within the squad. He believes striving for the top spot is essential, saying, “If you end up second by two points, you can still say, ‘Bravo, you were better.’”

Since joining the club in 2023, Benatia has consistently voiced his high hopes for OM. His recent comments reaffirm his unyielding ambitions and desire for success. Fans of Ligue 1 are eagerly watching to see how OM will capitalize on their competitive spirit against formidable rivals like PSG and Lens.
