Ligue 1

Marseille started their Ligue 1 campaign with an impressive 2–0 victory and continued through a very fine form usually never being below 6th so they did have some very hard times, dropping points and losing or drawing important games but soon after they were flying high and now after 30 games, l'OM tops the Ligue 1 with a game in hand. Now that it has reached the firing line in the league, Marseille are in the lead but there are many challengers for the Ligue 1 with only 3 points splitting the top five teams.

Coupe de la Ligue

Marseille started their Coupe de la Ligue campaign in the round of 16 where they came up against a team that they drew with in Ligue 1 but instead they were focused this time and determined to stay in this competition so they beat Saint-Étienne at the very last moment with a Niang goal in the 90+4-minute.

UEFA Champions League

Marseille were put into pot three in group C with two big football giants Real Madrid and Milan. Marseille started off poorly, losing their opening game at home to Milan. In their next game, Marseille also lost by a large margin, 3–0 to Real Madrid. Marseille had to win games if they are to stay in the Champions league and they did just that, winning against Swiss champions Zürich in both of their away and home matches. Marseille still continued their fine form but failed to get three points away at Italy. They could only earn one point, meaning that they must win their next clash against Real Madrid or else they are in the Europa League and also hope that Milan lose to Zürich, but it was not to be; Marseille lost 3–1 to Madrid, meaning that they will go into the Europa League as a seeded team.

UEFA Europa League

Because of Marseille's third-place finish at the 2009–10 UEFA Champions League, they were relegated to the Europa League along with other third-place finishers. The draw for the Europa League was made on 18 December 2009, and Marseille went up against Danish champions Copenhagen. Marseille easily went past the Danish champions in the Europa league, but then they had a very hard task ahead of them coming up against the 2008–09 Primeira Liga third-place finishers Benfica. After their double 3–1 wins, Marseille were favourites to progress to the quarter-finals.
