It wasn't an easy game for Marseille but they still succeeded in winning this one against Reims by 1-0. The winning goal came in the last moments of the game which was very valuable for them. They are six points ahead of Rennes still and they would most probably keep their position until the end of the season too. I don't think that Rennes can catch up with them and get past them in only four weeks. Marseille are trying to finish the season here at least as they can't compete with PSG at all.
Maybe because Reims is too defensive so Marseille only has a chance in minute 83. Marseille also has a 73% ball position with 700+ ball passing. I don't watch full the match, but when I look at the statistic, Marseille has dominated the game. Now, 6 points left between Rennes. If Marseille wins in the next game, they will get a ticket for a Champion league. And Congrat to PSG for the Ligue 1 title for this session.
Although Reims is currently in 13th position, it cannot be said that Reims is a weak team. Because Reims often makes big teams lose points,
previously even Reims managed to beat Lille and also Reims managed to win when playing away against Monaco. Even when Marseille faced
Reims at home, Marseille could only achieve a draw. So it's only natural that when Marseille faced Reims it seemed that Marseille had quite
a hard time beating Reims. But fortunately with the attacks carried out by Marseille on a massive scale, Marseille finally won the match,
although it had to be scored 7 minutes before the end of the match to ensure Marseille's victory.
So Marseille's difficulty to beat Reims was not only Reims who played defensively against Marseille, but Reims is also a tough team to beat.
Victory against Reims is very important for Marseille, to keep a distance from Rennes and Monaco, we will see if Marseille are able to play
consistently until the end of the season to make sure they are in second place, and can play in the Champions League next season.
