The big gap between French clubs.
The two French representatives continued their momentum on the occasion of this fifth day of the Europa League. Rather well off to a good start, Lyon achieved great success at Qarabağ and returns to the Top 8, synonymous with direct qualification for the round of 16 of the competition. In seventh place, precisely, with ten points. For its part, Nice collapsed against Glasgow Rangers. Penultimate, the Aiglons will have to achieve a very high-flying regular end of the phase to hope to see the play-offs.
The top of the ranking is still occupied by Lazio Rome, closely followed by Athletic Club and Eintracht Frankfurt (13 points each). Among the favorites, we find in particular Manchester United twelfth, while AS Rome (21ste) or le FC Porto (23e) will have to fight to extend the adventure beyond the month of January.
Okay, it's still a little early to plan on the posters for the final phase.
