Lille have secured their place in the UEFA Champions League with a 2-1 victory over Marseille in a playoff match on Wednesday night.

The game was played at the Stade de France in Paris and saw Lille come out on top after a tense final 15 minutes. The home side took the lead through a penalty kick from Lucas Ocampos in the 47th minute before a second goal from Anthony Martial gave them a two-goal advantage just five minutes later.

However, Marseille refused to give up and pulled one back through a goal from Dimitri Payet in the 89th minute. It looked like the game would end there but Lille held on for the win and booked their place in the group stage of next season's Champions League.

It was a tough test for Lille as they had already qualified for the knockout stages of the Europa League this season, but they showed great resilience and determination to secure their place in Europe's premier club competition.

The victory will be a huge boost for Lille as they look to build on their impressive domestic league campaign which saw them finish runners-up to PSG. The team has been praised for their attacking style of play under manager Christophe Galtier and it seems that they can compete at the highest level.

Overall, it was a thrilling match that ended in victory for Lille. They now face a difficult task in getting past the group stage of the Champions League, but they will be confident of doing so given their strong performance against Marseille.
