The Ligue 1 round 31 match between Marseille and Nice ended with a 1-0 victory for the visitors. Despite being behind in the standings, Marseille managed to secure their place in the UEFA Europa Conference League next season by defeating Nice at Stade Velodrome on Sunday evening.
Marseille had started the match strongly, but Nice fought back bravely and were able to equalize in the second half through a penalty kick. However, Marseille's goalkeeper, Steve Mandanda, saved the penalty kick to keep his team ahead and secure a crucial win.
With just two points separating them from the top four teams in the league table, Marseille now have a clear advantage over their opponents. They will be hoping to maintain this lead as they face Rennes in their final match of the season.
For Nice, it was a disappointing result as they looked set to secure a spot in Europe next season until the last minute. The team will now need to focus on their remaining matches if they want to make up ground on the chasing pack.
Overall, Marseille's victory is a testament to their resilience and determination. They showed that they can still compete at the highest level despite facing significant challenges throughout the season. With only one more game left, there is still time for them to secure their place in Europe and make it to the Champions League next year.
