Marseille have secured their place in the top four of the Ligue 1 table following their impressive victory over Nice on Saturday. The result means that Marseille now sit just two points behind the champions of Europe, Paris Saint-Germain.
The match was played at Stade Vélodrome and saw Marseille take the lead early on through a goal from Florian Thauvin. Nice fought back strongly in the second half but could not find a way past Marseille's goalkeeper, who made several crucial saves to keep his team in the game.
Marseille's victory has come as a relief for the club, who had been struggling to stay in the top four all season. With only three games remaining in the season, Marseille will be looking to continue their momentum and secure a spot in the Europa Conference League next term.
The win also puts Marseille one point ahead of Monaco, who currently occupy the fourth spot in the table. However, Marseille still have to play against Strasbourg and Rennes in their final three matches of the season, so it remains to be seen whether they can maintain their position in the top four.
Overall, Marseille's victory over Nice is a significant achievement for the club and a boost to their hopes of securing a place in Europe next term. It will be interesting to see how they perform in their final three matches of the season and whether they can continue their momentum into the new year.
