UEFA Europa League:
#3 Olympique Marseille 0-1-1 RB Salzburg
Marseille and Salzburg hadn't played each other in competitive matches before this year's Europa League - but by the end of the competition, there would have been four matches between the two.
The French side was drawn alongside Salzburg in the same group in the first round and their first meeting saw the Austrians take the spoils at the Red Bull Arena 1-0. Salzburg would continue their impressive form, winning their group with a game to spare.
Marseille would welcome Salzburg to the Stade Velodrome in the final league match, needing to match Konyaspor's result to secure the second spot. A goalless draw was enough to do that and both clubs progressed to the knockout stages.
Salzburg had the tougher journey to the semifinals, having to go through Real Sociedad, Borussia Dortmund and Lazio - with the final match seeing a remarkable 4-1 second leg turnaround to force a 6-5 aggregate win.
Marseille would beat Braga, Bilbao and most importantly Salzburg's German cousins RB Leipzig to reach the semifinals. With the winner of this tie considered to be the whipping boys for either Arsenal or Atletico Madrid in the final, the onus will be on both teams to produce a great performance.
