Zapping World Eleven EXCLUDED: Geyoro, Karchaoui and Périsset’s “Little Sister” interview!
After Olympique de Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain here, it is the turn of the French teams engaged in the Europe League (C3) and in the Europa Conference League (C4) to be fixed on their fate. At 1 p.m., the group stage draw will take place at UEFA headquarters. On the French side, in C3, AS Monaco is placed in hat 2, like Stade Rennais, FC Nantes in hat 4, while OGC Nice is placed in hat 3 of C4.
Heavy for Nantes?
For the Rennais and Monegasques, the worst draw would be a clash with Manchester United or Arsenal in pot 1, Real Betis in pot 3 or even Union Saint-Gilloise in pot 4. The Canaries, placed in the last pot , are not protected. Like the other two French teams, the Red Devils and the Gunners appear as the heavyweights of pot 1. For the second, PSV Eindhoven appear as the strongest team, with Real Betis for the third.
A more lenient draw would see Bruno Genesio and Philippe Clément’s men take on Red Star Belgrade, Ferencvaros as well as Omonia. Regarding those of Antoine Kombouaré, it would be Belgrade, Ludogorets and Omonia.
OGC Nice spared?
As for the people of Nice, they find themselves in hat 3 of the Europa League Conference, with many unknown clubs. In hat 1, the scarecrow is none other than Villarreal, semi-finalists of the last edition, Fiorentina in hat 2, Lech Poznań for 4. Enough to imagine a lenient draw for the Aiglons. In the event of a more positive draw, Andy Delort’s teammates would face Partizan Belgrade, Slovan Bratislava and Kosovars Ballkani.
