That was back in the days when only the league champion made it into the Champions League. As Marseille were stripped of the Championship they didnt qualify, so UEFA didn't get involved in that part of it.

Strange thing about that year was that the team that finished 2nd turned down the Champions League place, so it was third place Monaco who got the French spot.
