Difficult winner of Metz away (2-3), Rennes puts pressure on OL and Marseille before their match on the 32nd day.
Metz almost gave OL a smile on Saturday. Hosting Rennes for the 32nd day, the Messins long believed they would glean one or three points against Stade Rennais, notably thanks to the untenable Georges Mikautadze. Best player in his team since his return last winter, the Lyon-born striker opened the scoring, then allowed the Grenats to regain the advantage at half-time by offering the second goal to Amadou Diallo (2-1).
Time was ticking, and the Bretons seemed to be heading towards a very annoying defeat in the race for the Conference League. But ultimately, exercise specialist Benjamin Bourigeaudwas responsible for equalizing from the penalty spot in the 73rd, before Arnaud Kalimuendo does not crucify his opponent in added time (2-3, 90th+3).
OL under pressure in Lille
With these three units snatched at the very end of the match, Julien’s protégés Stephan double Olympique Lyonnais (9th provisionally) and Marseille (8th). Here they are 7th, and therefore in a potentially European place. The Ille-et-Vilaine club will therefore observe Pierre’s movement without much pressure Wise and his group in Lille on Monday May 6. OM will not play in Ligue 1 before May 12 (Lorient).
Alexandre’s teammates Lacazette are therefore almost forced not to lose in the North, since with their unfavorable goal difference, they must imperatively have a length more than their rivals. The fight for the 7th folding seat in the championship should keep us in suspense until the end.
