End clap for Ligue 1. After 38 days in this 2021-2022 exercise, the teams of the French championship sealed their destiny on Saturday May 21. And this will rhyme with the Champions League for OM, winner of Strasbourg at the Vélodrome (4-0) and which grabs the place of dolphin of PSG. Disappointment for AS Monaco, held in check by Lens at Bollaert (2-2) because of a goal conceded in the last seconds. The Rocher club finished in 3rd place and will have to go through the dams to get a glimpse of the C1.
Behind, Stade Rennes went for the point of a draw in Lille (2-2) and won its place in the Europa League next season (4th). Carried by a flamboyant Andy Delort, author of a hat-trick in eight minutes, the Aiglons beat Reims (3-2) and finished in 5th place. They will play in the Europa League conference.
At the bottom of the table, Bordeaux, already almost doomed, won its last outing in Brest (2-4). Insufficient to avoid Ligue 2. Corrected by PSG at the Parc des Princes (5-0), Metz is also relegated. Thanks to a draw on the lawn of the Nantes Canaries (1-1), Saint-Etienne clinched 18th place and will play the decisive play-off against Auxerre next week.
What a crazy last day!!
