Marseille lost 2-1 to Lille in the 36th matchday of Ligue 1 on Saturday. With 73 points, OM remains two lengths behind Lens, who travel Sunday to Lorient.
Ironically, the success of Lille does the business of the great rival Lensois, closer than ever to the second place directly qualifying for the Champions League. Lille takes four points ahead of Rennes (6th) and Lyon (7th), the two clubs that can still deprive the Dogues of a European qualification.
