It's the great hit in the
37th round of the
Ligue 1: The team of
Lille OSC receives the new champion in French football, the
Olympique de Marseille. The second is actually eight points behind the leader, but he could defend his very good position in the case of a victory. Already in Toulouse, the team did win 2:0 - and because of the defeat of the AJ Auxerre against Lyon on Wednesday the group stays on a place, which allows the club of the North to participate in a direct way in the Champions League.
In this duel between the two best teams of the French championship, the players of Marseille don't have a lot of pressure. They played a very good season in which they obtained also the Coupe de la Ligue and therefore two titels. "To finish this season with two trophies, that's very good for the whole team, which did work very hard this year and made really big progresses", says the best striker in the team,
Mamadou Niang.
The Lillois have to show a good performance so that they can reach a nice result on
Saturday, because the champion has only five defeats in 36 matches. A balance, which is a little bit like the best years of Olympique Lyonnais, who is on the fourth place at the moment.
