I don't think there is a difference between second and third place for Marseille. In the national championships, there has long been such a situation that there is a title and everything else is unimportant except for the distribution of places for getting into European competitions. Thus, the first four teams no longer have much motivation to show good results and the real struggle will only be between Lille and Rennes, although I'm not sure that getting into the Conference League is a desirable achievement for anyone other than obvious outsiders.
Actually there is a difference between 2nd and 3rd places. The team finishing in 2nd place joins the Champions League group stage directly while the other one has to deal with qualification round. We never know what team they would face before the group stage. A tough opponent can eliminate them or even a weaker one can catch them by surprise.
As Lens aren't an experienced team in the Champions League they had better focus on finishing as the 2nd to make some good amount of money just for qualifying for the group stage.
Well, ain't it a shocker? Manchester United going after Neymar and Kane! Talk about a dream team in the making! Now, bear with me here folks. Neymar's got a lot of baggage coming in - injuries, age, and not to forget, a colossal wage demand! I mean, the guy's 31, has been nursing more injuries than I've seen my grandma knit sweaters!
So, United is considering buying an injury-prone star who may not perform at his best after recovery? A curious move, wouldn't you say? And, let's not even start on the fee! Would it be worth it to gamble that kind of money on a maybe? What's your take folks? Is it worth it?
And let's not forget Kane. Tottenham won't let him go for free! So, the question is - can United actually afford to splash that much cash on both of them? Or is this just another media circus designed to keep us glued to the sports channels?
Yeah I agree with you on the injury topic. Neymar is totally an injury-prone player and the EPL might not really be the best place for him indeed. But if he is having some in-team problems then I don't know if he would think about that too much. One time he had problems with Mbappe as Mbappe complained about Neymar's not being a disciplined player. If there are still this kind of issues then he might be okay to any top team that want him.
