Title: Champions League Qualification Showdown in Ligue 1: Paris, Lens Secure Positions, Marseille and Monaco Vie for Third

The Ligue 1 season is about to begin, with the champions, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), aiming to secure their place in the Champions League group stage while also securing third place in the league standings. Meanwhile, two other teams, Lens FC and Marseille FC, have secured positions in the top flight of French football.

Paris Saint-Germain has been in good form this season, having won the Coupe de France and reached the semi-finals of the Europa League. They have been strong defensively, conceding only four goals in their last seven games, and have had some impressive performances on the pitch as well. The team's performance against Lens was particularly pleasing, as they were able to dominate possession and create chances, which helped them secure their position at the top of the table.

However, there is still work to be done by PSG. They need to maintain their form and continue to perform at the highest level, especially in the Champions League. Their performance against Marseille was another positive sign, as they showed that they can compete at such a high level of competition. However, it remains to be seen whether PSG will be able to secure their place in the Champions League group stage.

Meanwhile, Lens FC has struggled recently, but they have shown signs of improvement. They have had some impressive performances on the pitch, including a goalless draw against Bordeaux on the weekend. However, they still need to improve defensively if they want to secure their place in the top flight of French football.

Marseille FC has also been performing well this season, although they still need to improve defensively. They have had some impressive performances on the pitch, including a goalless draw against Nice on Saturday. However, they still need to improve defensively if they want to secure their place in the top flight of French football.

In conclusion, both PSG and Lens FC have secured positions in the Ligue 1 top flight, while Marseille FC needs to improve defensively if they want to secure their place in the Champions League group stage. With the current state of the league, it is likely that these teams will struggle to advance past the first round of the competition, but with hard work and determination, they could potentially make it through to the next round.
