Paris--Marseille's slump continued on Friday as Marcelo Bielsa's side went down to a 1-0 defeat at Nantes that further damaged their hopes of qualifying for next season's Champions League. Serge Gakpe scored the only goal of the game in the 20th minute at a packed Stade de la Beaujoire following a defensive mix-up as Nantes claimed a win that moves them a step closer to securing top-flight survival. But Marseille, after losing to Paris Saint-Germain and Bordeaux in the last fortnight, racked up a third consecutive defeat remain in fourth place, a point behind Monaco in the third and final qualifying berth for next season's Champions League.
