The French football league, Ligue 1, is currently in the midst of its qualification race for the Europa League. Two teams from Marseille and Monaco are competing for third place in this race, with both teams having played six matches so far.

Marseille, who have been one of the most consistent sides in Ligue 1 this season, has been on fire lately, winning four out of their last five matches. They currently sit in second place in the table, just three points behind leaders Nice. The team's manager, Marcelo Bielsa, has praised his players' resilience and determination throughout the campaign, saying that they will not give up until they secure their place in the Europa League.

On the other hand, Monaco, who are also battling for a spot in Europe, have struggled to find form recently. After a strong start to the season, the team has since lost several key players through injury and suspension, which has affected their performance. Despite this, they still remain in fourth place in the table, just one point behind Marseille.

Both teams are eager to secure a place in the Europa League, but it looks like Marseille may be the team to beat. Their recent form and experience in European competition make them a force to be reckoned with, while Monaco's struggles may prove costly in the long run. Regardless of who ultimately secures third place, fans of both teams can expect a thrilling match as they compete for what could be their final chance at European football this season.
