OM confirms its PSG dolphin place by beating Brest

The Roman retreat of Marseille players in Rome, decided by their Italian coach, Roberto de Zerbi, has paid off. Olympique de Marseille (OM) largely defeated Brest Sunday, April 27 at the Vélodrome (4-1), confirming his second place in the Ligue 1 ranking, behind Paris Saint-Germain. OM is thus in good position for a qualification for the Champions League. Lille, who went to beat Angers (2-0), takes third place.

Eager to weld his group and keep him away from the Marseille tumult after a series of bad results, Roberto de Zerbi brought back to Marseille a conquering team which came to the end of the Brestois. In the eyes of its American owner Frank McCourt, a sign of the importance of the European issue for the club, OM was able to count on an Amine Gouiri in a state of grace. The Algerian player has signed three goals, including one sumptuous after a checked chest control over.

Three days before the end of the championship, Marseille can breathe a little with three points ahead of the fourth position occupied by Monaco, only the first three of Ligue 1 directly accessing the Lucrative Champions League. But the games are not completely made, since only four points separate OM, 2^efrom Strasbourg, 7^e.

Lille, a serious threat to Marseille

The displacement of the men from from Zerbi to Lille (3^e), on May 4, could thus weigh very heavy. Because LOSC remains a more than serious candidate in the Champions League as proved by his third success in Angers despite the exclusion of his defender Bafodé Diakité in the second period.

At the bottom of the table, Reims (13^e), unable to dominate Montpellier (0-0), yet already sentenced to relegation in Ligue 2, and Nantes (14), which was held in check (0-0) at Beaujoire by Toulousains quickly reduced to ten (38^e), will still have to hang on to ensure their maintenance among the elite.

Finally, Auxerre (10^e) Has demonstrated in Lens, humiliated 4-0 on his Bollaert lawn with in particular a double of the Japanese teenager Ongiwu. Out of time for Europe for a long time (8^e), blood and gold dramaticly spread out their current inadequacies and are likely to complete the season in freewheeling.
