Marseille head coach Habib Beye defended Ethan Nwaneri after his penalty miss. ' He added, 'When we discussed it, we were very, very clear about the shooting order. ' The exact penalty shooting order for Marseille has not been disclosed, and it is unknown who Toulouse will face in the semi-finals.

I'm not going to have a big discussion about it because what I like is the personality of a player who decides to go for it.
