No need to make big speeches or stick your tongue out. By winning Sunday in Lille (1-2), OM took a huge step towards direct qualification in the Champions League. And André Villas-Boas is well aware of this. With eleven points ahead of Rennes (3rd) and twelve ahead of Losc (4th) thirteen days from the end, Marseille can start to prepare champagne.

"It's a huge gap"

“It is a great success for our team. If we remove the Galacticos from PSG, OM is the best team in Ligue 1. We dismiss one more opponent who is twelve points and Rennes eleven. It's a huge gap. But we must continue to mathematically secure our place. We find ourselves in a position of control. I hope we will reach our goal, “rejoiced the Marseille coach at the end of the meeting. Given the differences, Villas-Boas can sleep peacefully. This season, Marseille is a cut above everyone ... except the untouchable PSG.
