OM among the European top 16?
We have never been so close since his career until the quarter-finals in 2012, before meeting Bayern Munich (0-2, 2-0).
There is one and only scenario in which Marseille would be qualified for the round of 16 this Wednesday evening.
He must first win at Eintracht Frankfurt, which hosts the Phocaeans at 9 p.m., six weeks after winning at the Vélodrome (0-1).

For OM to be in the round of 16, Tottenham must simultaneously dominate Sporting Portugal.
Thus, the English club would have 10 pts, Marseille 9, Sporting 6 and Frankfurt 4. Sporting, which lost its two matches against the players of Igor Tudor (4-1 then 0-2), will necessarily be behind in case of equal points.

The catastrophic (but not fatal) scenario would be for OM to lose in Germany, while Sporting defeats Tottenham.
We would have Sporting at 9 pts, Tottenham and Frankfurt at 7 and Marseille at 6, therefore forced to beat Spurs on the last day to play the C1 again in the spring.
