The Europa League is going on much better for Marseille compared to the Ligue 1 indeed.

Their opponent is Benfica in the quarter finals and I believe this is a winnable matchup for Marseille as well.

However let's say they became successful on it their next opponent would probably be Liverpool. Do you believe Marseille can get past this obstacle as well? I don't think so honestly. Therefore they are quite likely to lose their other chance to qualify for the Champions League too. There are still positive things to be seen by their new manager's arrival though. But consistency is always the key factor to success. We need to see it from them more.

Marseille's performance in the Europa League is of course very extraordinary and now they are even able to reach the quarterfinals with all the obstacles that exist, besides that their chances of reaching the semi-finals are also wide open for them, because in my opinion at this time Benfica is not stronger than Marseille so that it provides an opportunity for Marseille to beat Benfica in the game later, Marseille's journey in the Europa League is smoother than their journey in Ligue 1 this season.

Currently Marseille is ranked 7th with a difference of 3 points with Lens who is in the last zone of European competition, although the gap in points is only small but their journey seems to be difficult because their position is also threatened by Rennes and Reims in the league, I think to secure their chances of qualifying for Europe next season of course Marseille must be able to end the season as high as possible in the league, Because looking at the potential of their opponents such as Milan, Liverpool and Leverkusen in the Europa League , of course it Is difficult for them to win the Europa League this season as an alternative way to get tickets to European competition next season, two consecutive defeats in the league is certainly a bad result for Marseille but they still have a chance to rise in the next game against Lille.
