Abdelaziz Barrada gave Marseille its third with a deft chip three minutes after the break, and the Ligue 1 side appeared poised to advance before Liberec scored twice two minutes apart to worry Michel's men.

Lucas Ocampos scored a fourth in injury time to cement the result for Olympique.

The three points ensure that Marseille finishes second in Group F, one point shy of Braga, who drew 0-0 with FC Groningen on Wednesday to finish top on 13 points.
