Le Classique After the Champions League

By Sunday, the team led by Luis Enrique will be looking for another victory in Ligue 1, where they continue to lead without any issues, although they face their fierce rival, who remains the second-best team in the competition, 16 points behind the top.

It’s not a high-risk match, but it’s definitely one of those where losing is "forbidden," given the rivalry between the two teams. In fact, in the first encounter, it was the Parisian side that took better advantage, winning 0-3 in their visit to the Vélodrome.

Olympique Marseille in the Battle for Champions League Spots

With the top of the table now so distant, Champions League spots are a clear objective for the team managed by Roberto Di Zerbi. It’s no secret that the other teams vying for these positions are waiting for a slip-up from the second-place spot.

Nice follows closely in third, just three points behind, while AS Monaco is fourth, five points behind; this is definitely something to consider. A loss could be very costly for Marseille.
