Bordeaux and Metz relegated, Saint-Étienne in Ligue 1 play-offs
What had to happen happened… Bordeaux and Saint-Étienne are directly relegated to Ligue 2. While they were leading twice in the first period, happiness never lasted more than 2 minutes. Still caught up by Brest, the Girondins take only one point. They still managed to win this last meeting with 4 goals to 2. With 31 points at the end of 38 days of the championship, Bordeaux is now leaving Ligue 1, 31 years after having found it. A real blow for Ligue 1 which loses one of its pillars.
The heavy defeat against PSG (5-0) and the draw of Saint Etienne in Nantes (1-1) send FC Metz directly to Ligue 2 next season. Like the Girondins, the Messins have only 31 points after 38 days, which is therefore not enough to get ahead of ASSE and hope to save themselves against AJ Auxerre. To make matters worse, Traoré took a red card after a sole on Neymar. A real disappointment took place at the Parc des Princes this Saturday, May 21.
Saint-Étienne carries out the good operation of the evening. His draw against FC Nantes allows him to access the play-offs and the hope of staying in Ligue 1. ASSE will meet very soon, in a double confrontation, AJ Auxerre. A feedback that is good for ASSE.
A complete Champions League
After 38 days, we now know the contenders for the title of European champion next season. Alongside Paris Saint-Germain, it is Olympique de Marseille who are present for the group stages. The 4-0 victory at the Vélodrome stadium allows the Marseillais to directly access the parent competition next season. Still in the south of France, AS Monaco completes the podium and qualifies for the Champions League play-offs. If they win, the Monegasques go to LdC otherwise it will be the Europa League.
For Paris, the evening was full of emotions. Di Maria’s farewell and Mbappé’s extension, it was eventful at the Parc des Princes. The Parisians experienced an XXL evening. Alexandre Letellier even became champion of France this evening by entering in place of Keylor Navas. Eyes full of stars. Despite a complicated season for Paris, this 38th day of Ligue 1 ends in style.
Rennes and Nice for Europe
Stade Rennais keeps its 4th place in Ligue 1 and reaches the Europa League after a draw at Pierre Mauroy. While they had given up this precious place to OGC Nice, Rennes kept their place and entered the Europa League. Rennes scared themselves until the last second. Guirassy sends his team to C2, a release for the club and its supporters. Nice got off to a bad start, but managed to reverse the trend against Stade de Reims. The Europa League Conference will see the Aiglons next season. They were one step away from finishing in the Europa League but Rennes decided otherwise. This sealed fifth place allows OGC Nice to experience a European competition.
Lyon and Angers winners, draw at Troyes
The rest of Ligue 1 ended with a victory for Olympique Lyonnais against Clermont Foot 63. After a complicated season, OL ended on a positive note despite everything. On the Angers side, the Angevins won their last match 2-0 against Montpellier at the Raymond Kopa stadium. While Lorient and Troyes left with the score of 1-1. Troyes, moreover, took a red card following a big foul by Kaboré in the 85′. A complicated last day. The 38th day ends with an eventful evening as we like them. Ligue 1 will be back soon. A successful ending.
