Marseille coach Marcelo Bielsa has admitted that his side's recent defeat to Montpellier HSC in Ligue 1 has hurt the team.
The league leaders lost out to goals from Kevin Berigaud and Paul Lasne on a night in which youngster Billel Omrani also grabbed his first goal for Marseille.
"We found it easy to get to their last line of defence, but we didn't have many clear chances and we didn't manage to create any dangerous chances," Bielsa said after the game, according to the official Ligue 1 website.
"Sometimes teams push forward constantly but don't create enough danger and end up conceding chances at the other end.
"It is always worrying when you lose. This defeat hurts us. But there is no pressure at being first, it's rather stimulating."
Marseille still occupy top spot in the league, two points clear of chasing Lyon despite the loss to Montpellier.
