The UEFA Europa League round 31 is in full swing and with the draw at home to Lille, Marseille's hopes for qualification have been dashed.
Marseille had won four of their last five matches but were defeated by Lille 2-0 in a match that was nothing more than a stalemate. The result left Marseille trailing Lille by just two points in the table.
With the season drawing to a close, Marseille will be hoping to secure a place in the knockout stages. However, they have already lost three of their last four matches and could find themselves without a place in the competition if they don't make the playoffs.
Meanwhile, Lille has taken the lead in the standings after a hard-fought win over Toulouse. They will need to beat Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain to remain in the top four.
In the other match on Saturday night, Manchester United beat Liverpool 3-1 at Old Trafford. The Red Devils have now won six of their last seven Premier League games and are within striking distance of winning the title.
Manchester United will be hoping to extend their unbeaten run to eight games and continue their strong form ahead of the final match against West Ham United. The game promises to be intense as both teams have impressive attacking weapons and are looking to repeat their success from the previous season.
Overall, Marseille's draw with Lille leaves them behind in the league standings while Lille's victory over Toulouse provides some hope for them. With the season drawing to a close, Marseille will be hoping to secure a place in the knockout stages while Lille will need to keep pushing forward to stay alive in the race for the title.
