Well done in the league man!
Marseille VS Nice Coupe de la Ligue

Marseille are three times champions of this competition they came in successive seasons 2009/10, 2010/11 and 2011/12 they take on Nice who have never won it. That doesn't matter today though, who will be the ones with the bragging writes?

Kick Off 20:45

2016-07-08 09:33#235008 InfraRed : good start man! Keep it up!

The team sheets are in Marseille have their strongest team out here, these haven't played together for a bit which explains the league form.
Nice have Hassen in goal the 21 year old has signed a pre-contract with Marseille but he will want to impress Sommer especially with Costil 4th in the league for clean sheets.

Marseille win the Coupe de la Ligue
Marseille 3-0 Nice

This match was so one sided from the kick off in the 5th minute Baysse gave away a penalty and ex FC Red Bull Salzburg striker Jonathan Soriano stepped up and fired it passed Hassen and then got his second just 4 minutes later with a close range header. Nice started to come into the game more in the second half looking the more likely of the two to score but Soriano got his hat-trick in the 83 minute with a lovely finish one on one with the keeper to rap up the match and lift the trophy for Marseille.

Marseille Coupe de la Ligue CHAMPIONS!
Reporter: "Mathias how happy are you to have won your first trophy with Marseille and in such style."
Mathias Sommer: "Of course it is a fantastic feeling but we can't party too hard because we need to focus on the next match against Lorient."
Reporter: "Yes there are three games to go. Can you explain how you have managed to improve Marseille so much in one season ?"
Mathias Sommer: "Well so far that is one trophy out of 3 available and there is only one left to fight for, we want more."
Reporter: "Paris Saint Germain were knocked out of this competition in the quarter final against Lille but they have a chance to win the league being just four points behind. Are you happy you avoided them?"
Mathias Sommer: "Yes nobody wants to face PSG they are a brilliant side and like you said they have a chance to win the league but they are in the French cup final as well, there is still everything to play for."
Reporter: "Marseille got knocked out in that competition in the quarter final stage. Are you still disappointed.?"
Mathias Sommer: "Yes every club wants to win trophies and we have our regrets that we let it get to penalties but Dijon were great especially how they were still battling to stay above the bottom three but that's behind us we have other things to look forward to."
Reporter: "That's it Mathias well done on the win."
Mathias Sommer: "Thanks again, bye."

Thank you, I chose Marseille because I hated to watching them struggle last season especially the Marseille 2-5 Rennes and all the sales this summer.


The ex Hannover right back Hiroki Sakai has been excellent this season and so Marseille have repayed him with a new 4 year deal and £40,000 a week.

Ligue 1 Breaking News

Marseille suffer shock 4-3 loss against Lorient which leaves them just 1 point above Paris Saint Germain with two games remaining against Nice and Dijon.







This defeat comes after Marseille stopped their 4 match run without winning by beating Nice in the Coupe de la Ligue final but their league form hasn't improved with no wins from their last 5 matches just 3 points from a possible 15. The league was pretty much wrapped up when they went on their 20 game unbeaten run before this slump and now PSG have the chance to win their 5th consecutive title.
Ligue 1

Marseille hold on to top spot in Ligue 1 with a 3-1 win against Nice the third time they have beaten Nice this season with one match remaining they play Dijon who were confirmed relegation just days after they beat Marseille in the French cup quarter final.
Marseille will need to match or better PSG's result to win the league. It is closer than it was expected to be and it will be a fantastic final day of the season.

Here is the final day of the 2016/2017 Ligue 1
There are already three teams relegated and so everyone is looking at the title race which involves Marseille and PSG. PSG have the harder test they play against Lille who find themselves in a disappointing 13th place so will want to give their fans something to cheer about. Lille are the only team to have beaten Marseille at the Stade Velodrome this season one of 5 defeats for them. Marseille have one of last seasons promoted sides to go straight back down Dijon who have found the transition hard and will be working to return from Ligue 2 next season.

Here are the teams:
