We all want to qualify for the Champions League so everybody needs to pull together. Even if we struggle in the end of our matches, we do not let go,” defender Samuel Umtiti told the club’s website (www.olweb.fr)."Anything is now possible. Let’s just stick together and we’ll see where it takes us. But I think we have what it takes to finish third.”Among the Champions League contenders, sixth-placed St Etienne appear to have the easiest game on paper as they host lowly Nice.However, striker Bakary Sako pointed out the Azurean side may not be easy prey as they will be fighting relegation."All our opponents will have something to play for and (Nice) will be fighting for their place in Ligue 1,” he said.Second-placed Paris St Germain, who trail Montpellier on goal difference after last weekend’s disappointing 1-1 draw against Girondins Bordeaux, travel to Nancy on Saturday.Montpellier’s match at Olympique Marseille has been postponed until April 11 to help Marseille prepare for their Champions League return leg against Bayern Munich.
