Match Report

Marseille wrapped up their Ligue 1 season in emphatic style, seeing off Rennes 3-1 at the Vélodrome on the final matchday to secure a coveted Europa League place. The hosts struck early and decisively. Pierre-Emile Højbjerg put Marseille ahead in just the second minute, assisted by Mason Greenwood, before Amine Gouiri doubled the lead in the 10th. Rennes struggled to find answers, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang extended the advantage further in the 55th. Esteban Lepaul grabbed a late consolation for the visitors in the 84th minute, set up by Arnaud Nordin. No red cards or penalties disrupted the flow. The result lifts Marseille to fifth in the final standings with 59 points, confirming their Europa League berth. Rennes, equal on points but finishing sixth, must now settle for a Conference League playoff — a bitter conclusion for a side that had harboured Champions League ambitions coming into the day.
