It’s (already) the last day of this 2023/2024 Ligue 1 season! For the occasion, all the matches of this 34th day can be followed this Sunday, May 19 at 9 p.m. sharp. Here’s what awaits us for this final multiplex of the season.
Before welcoming the final of the Coupe de France on our screens, which will pit PSG against Olympique Lyonnais on May 25, it’s time for Ligue 1 and its end for this season. If the capital club is already crowned champion of France, the rest of the Top 3 is still shaky and certain clubs will have to fight to compete in a European competition next season…
A crucial last day for Lille and Brest
Facing Nice and Toulouse respectively, LOSC and Stade Brestois are currently in 3rd and 4th place in the standings. Tied on points, victory is absolutely imperative in order to obtain the last qualifying ticket for the Champions League next season. With 58 points and for the moment a 4th place, the Brestois are already assured of finishing the season with the best total of points and the best ranking in their history.
For its part, Lille, which hosts OGC Nice (which will end its season in 5th place), must absolutely take the 3 points in order to end the season on the third step of the podium. Even if it is very complicated to predict who from Lille or Brest will finish 3rd, the statistics speak and give the Dogues slight favorites. Indeed, in their last 5 matches in Ligue 1, the Northerners have collected 9 points, while Eric Roy’s men have collected only 5. According to the prediction tool from Opta, official partner of Ligue 1 Uber Eats, there is a 75% chance of seeing LOSC finish on third place, compared to 25% for Stade Brestois.
The meeting between LOSC and OGC Nice will be followed this evening at 9 p.m. on Canal+ Foot. And to see Toulouse – Brest, also tune in this evening at 9 p.m. on Prime Video.
A historic record in sight for PSG
Champion of France for the 12th time in its history, PSG will try to win their 15th Coupe de France on May 25 against OL. After the terrible disappointment against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League semi-final, Luis Enrique’s men can achieve a great historic record at the end of this last day. If they win this final match against FC Metz, 16th in the championship, the Parisians will not have suffered any away defeats during the entirety of this season. The capital club would therefore be the very first club in history to remain undefeated away from home over the entirety of a Ligue 1 season.
Mbappé’s last match in Ligue 1
While he is heading towards the great Real Madrid and he played his last match at the Parc des Princes last Sunday against Toulouse – a match lost 3 goals to 1 despite a goal from Bondynois – Kylian Mbappé will play his last match this Sunday of Ligue 1 under the red and blue tunic. Before flying to the Iberian capital and its La Liga, the captain of the Blues spoke about his incredible Parisian epic. At the microphone of Dailythe crack explains his state of mind at the dawn of his departure, after 7 years in the service of PSG:
”What will I miss most about France? It’s hard, because until you leave, you don’t really know. I said I was leaving, but I’m still here, so my life hasn’t changed. When I arrive abroad, I think that the food, all the habits, the family, the loved ones, it’s something that you will miss. Like I said, I’m going to lose a lot of things, but I’m going to find others.”
