Paris Saint-Germain secured their place in the UEFA Champions League qualification round with a comprehensive victory over Lens on Sunday afternoon at Parc des Princes. The result was 4-0, which left Paris leading the table in Ligue 1 with 69 points after 27 matches.
On the other side of the league, Marseille and Monaco faced off in a thrilling encounter that saw both teams struggle to score goals. The match ended in a 1-1 draw, leaving Marseille and Monaco tied for third place in Ligue 1. Both clubs have 58 points after 27 games played.
The win for Paris Saint-Germain was crucial for them as they move into the knockout stages of the Champions League. The team will face either Borussia Dortmund or Tottenham Hotspur in the first round of qualifying. On the other hand, Marseille and Monaco will need to hope that one of their opponents falls ill or withdraws from the competition before they can secure a spot in the group stage.
Despite the disappointing result against Lens, Marseille and Monaco remain confident about their chances of securing a top-three finish in Ligue 1. With only three more matches remaining in the season, they still have a chance to clinch a spot in Europe's elite club competition.
