Marcelo Bielsa will continue to cling onto Marseille's slim UEFA Champions League hopes as long as it is possible after Sunday's triumph over rivals Monaco.
Marseille boosted their European hopes with a come-from-behind 2-1 Ligue 1 win at home to Monaco, who occupy the third and final Champions League berth.
Bielsa's men are fourth in the standings with two matches remaining, just two points adrift of Monaco in the race for third.
"As long as mathematically possible, we keep the faith and hope," the Chilean said after Marseille recorded back-to-back wins.
"It was a game with great emotions. It was very complicated for us. Difficult to neutralise attackers and a complex defensive scheme," Bielsa added.
"The beginning of the game, let alone the goal conceded, was the best we played in a while.
"The second half of the first half was complicated. Then there has been a succession of offensives waves on the goal that increased the confidence of the team. We managed to acquire a just and deserved victory."
