With a ninth consecutive victory against Brest (4-2), Monaco takes second place beating Marseille, overwhelmed by Rennes (2-0), this Saturday during the penultimate matchday of Ligue 1 where Metz seized the play-off spot.

After a crazy night where the positions have changed a lot, everything will be decided on the last day, both in the race for the Champions League and for maintenance. And OM could well lose it all, ten days after their elimination in the Europa League conference semi-finals…

Second pitch, the Marseillais seemed exhausted at Roazhon Park, unable to stop the accelerations of Benjamin Bourigeaud (11y) and Lovro Majer (34y), goalscorers.

Premier League: City remains in control, but…

Leading 2-0, but with a missed penalty late in the game, Manchester City settled for a 2-2 draw at West Ham, while Tottenham edged out Arsenal in the Champions League race.

The Citizens vs. Reds duel for the title has almost seen a new twist, but the point gained in London is still a small step closer to the title for the outgoing champions.

Had they won, they would have been six points clear and with a much higher goal difference than Liverpool, who have only two games left to play. But they will settle for this 4-point lead that leaves Jürgen Klopp’s men with little hope.

The latter will go to Southampton on Tuesday. In case of defeat, City will be crowned without playing. Otherwise, it will all be decided on the final day when City host Aston Villa, managed by Steven Gerrard, Liverpool’s iconic captain in the 2000s, while the Reds host Wolverhampton.
