No room for error. To hope to play in European competition next year, Lyon can no longer afford to leave points along the way. In Marseille, Sunday May 1 (8:45 p.m.), the atmosphere promises to be boiling after the first leg, stopped after three minutes of play and a bottle throw at Dimitri Payet. Marseille fans want to see their team rush to second place in Ligue 1 and secure it as quickly as possible to have a quieter end to the season.
But four days before their return semi-final of the Europa League conference, after a 3-2 defeat in the first leg on Thursday, will the Marseillais have the lead 100% in the championship? Their fairly comfortable but not definitive lead over their pursuers could push Jorge Sampaoli to rest a few executives so that they are fresh against Feyenoord.
