The curtain falls on Ligue 1 this Sunday evening (May 17) as Paris was crowned champions on Wednesday after their victory against Lens (0-2)! It was a 34th and final matchday without suspense for FC Nantes, already relegated to Ligue 2 and facing Toulouse.
There is no major stakes for the Western clubs either with Stade Brestois playing Angers SCO and FC Lorient against Le Havre.
Rennes can dream of the Champions League
On the other hand, Stade Rennais has a big game to play against Marseille. If Rennes is already assured of playing in a European competition next season, it remains to be seen which one, with the outcome partly decided at the Vélodrome stadium against OM. This is to the delight of Rennes’ striker Esteban Lepaul.
“It’s going to be an incredible match and I think we couldn’t have dreamed of a better way to finish a season. I like the fact that we have to be focused until the last second and it will add some spice to the evening, it’s great.”
Possible scenarios
Rennes can finish 3rd or 4th, meaning a shot at the Champions League, by winning against Marseille and hoping that Lille and Lyon do not win! If they draw, it will be the Europa League for Rennes. In case of defeat, the result of the Coupe de France Final between Lens and Nice will determine the European competition for SRFC! Suspense.
