End of the complicated exercise for the Marseillais. Exhausted by an extended season, the OM players have no room for error on Sunday against Lorient for the 36th day of Ligue 1. Three games from the end of the season, the Phocaeans point to the second place, directly qualifying place in the Champions League.
