Three days of the end of the championship of Ligue 1, Olympique de Marseille is better than the targets set at the beginning of the season. While a fifth place was the mission assigned to the group of Elie Baup for the Europa League, it is positioned in the second place behind PSG, with a direct qualification for the Champions League in sight.

Seven lengths of Paris, and given the pressure of the leader, does OM get cravings for the champion? “We are happy with this second place”, said Nicolas Nkoulou Tuesday at a press conference. And for the Cameroonian defender to continue “It’s been a dream to be the second, then tickle the first place, that’s another thing”.

For Nkoulou, the most important thing is to “preserve our second place because it happens quickly behind.”

OM hosts Toulouse FC in the 36th day on Saturday.
