On the program for this 31st day: Brest which emerges victorious from a mentally ill match against Rennes, Toulouse which formalizes its maintenance and Clermont which delivers a gratuitous slap in the face. Oh yes, and Paris is French champion by the way.
Montpellier – Nantes: 1 – 1
Montpellier: 1
If the Montpellier residents have hardly shone through football this season, certain players in Michel Der Zakarian’s squad are already experiencing their reconversion. For example for Arnaud Nordin, it will at least be kickboxing.
Nantes: -1
The Canaries bring back a welcome point from Mosson, After a football lesson against Stade Rennais a few days ago (3-0). But as surprising as it may seem, this good deal is not going to be to everyone’s taste according to Antoine Kombouaré.
PSG – Le Havre: 3 – 3
PSG: 3
The Parisians had the opportunity to celebrate the title in the event of a victory over Le Havre, a play-off before the match and who remained in five games without a victory in the League. But obviously the competition was too tough for Luis Enrique’s men. We’re already looking forward to Wednesday evening, and to knowing what sauce PSG will be eaten in Dortmund.
Le Havre: -2
Le Havre had THE performance of their season. The Normans led 3-1 at the Parc des Princes until the 78th minute, you have to realize the crazy level of this game. But this hope only lasted 94 minutes. Gonçalo Ramos is likely to be present in many Le Havre nightmares this weekend.
Metz – Lille: 1 – 2
Metz: 1
After two far too encouraging victories, the Messins found the path to defeat, their 18th of the season (championship record this year). And a double blow, Laszlo Bölöni’s men regain their place as roadblocks. A perfect evening from start to finish.
Lille: -1
With an unconvincing success, but a success nonetheless, Lille was betting everything on a Rennes victory this weekend, in order to slow down Brest’s advance and steal 3rd place in the standings. Well tried.
Strasbourg – Nice: 1 – 3
Strasbourg: 1
In this Vieiraico, the people of Strasbourg had nothing to lose, but everything to gain. And yet, they managed to lose everything.
Nice: -1
At 40 years and 193 days old, Dante becomes the third oldest scorer in the history of the championship. Just behind Benjamin Nivet of course.
Clermont – Reims: 4 – 1
Clermont: -3
To find traces of a Clermont match where a team scored 4 or more goals, you have to go back to March 2. And of course, it was the opponent who took care of it (5-1 victory for OM). But the Olympians had not invented anything. Monaco (4-2) and Lille (4-0) had already shown the way.
Reims: 3
Usually, losing 4 goals is ugly and fabulous at the same time. But to do it against Clermont Foot 63 is nothing short of fabulous.
Lorient – Toulouse: 1 – 2
Lorient: 1
The worst defense in the championship once again got the ball rolling. With 61 goals conceded, the Merlus quickly made it clear to Toulouse that they had no other choice but to inflict on them a seventh consecutive match without a victory in Liguain.
Toulouse: -3
By winning at Moustoir, the people of Toulouse have committed the irreparable; validate their continuation for next season. This high treason will not be forgiven anytime soon.
Rennes – Brest: 4 – 5
Rennes: 5
So if we recap, Stade Rennais led 2-0, fell behind 2-4, then got back to 4-4, to finally take a freezing air conditioning in the 90+7th minute (4-5) . Fingers crossed that Rennes qualify for the European Cup again next season. Our continent deserves the entertainment of Julien Stéphan’s men.
Brest: -5
With this victory not recommended for people with heart problems, Stade Brestois officially becomes the 36th French club qualified for the European Cup. Looking forward to knowing the 36th definition of a tricolor loser on the European scene.
Lyon – Monaco: 3 – 2
Lyon: -2
Who would have believed, at the start of the season, that Olympique Lyonnais would offer Ligue 1 to Paris Saint-Germain? What if Les Gones also offered the Coupe de France to the Parisians in the final on May 25?
Monaco: 2
22 seconds. This is the time it took Ben Yedder to cool down the Groupama Stadium. It will be the only light in this Monegasque evening.
OM – Lens: 2 – 1
OM: -2
Four days after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s near-goal, Marseille thought they would relive the same scenario against Lens. But that was without counting on the home scorer; Pape Gueye, and his very first goal of the season. On the 31st day. Trigger.
Lens: 1
If we had to summarize Lens’ season, we would give this statistic; the Sang et Or are closer to Clermont (21 points difference) than to PSG (24 points). That’s nothing.
