Marseille has secured their place in the Champions League next season after triumphing over Nice in a thrilling encounter at the Stade Vélodrome on Sunday.
The win means that Marseille have now collected 57 points from 34 matches, with only two teams ahead of them in the league table - Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco. This puts Marseille top of the table by a significant margin, and they will be hoping to secure their Champions League spot as soon as possible.
The match was a closely contested affair, with both sides creating numerous chances throughout the game. However, it was Marseille who emerged victorious thanks to a goal from substitute Dimitri Payet in the 69th minute.
Payet's goal proved to be the difference between the two teams, as Nice were unable to find the back of the net despite creating numerous opportunities themselves. The win for Marseille means that they have now clinched a spot in the Champions League, while Nice will be looking to bounce back in the coming weeks.
The result is a huge boost for Marseille, who had been under pressure following their disappointing performance against Rennes last weekend. The win cements their position as one of the form teams in Ligue 1, and they will be hoping to continue their impressive form in the coming weeks.
