Last round of Ligue 1 forbidden to the faint of heart, with two sensational twists. The biggest one concerns the hot zone: Lorient performs a legendary feat of overtaking Metz at the last corner, forcing the latter into a very bitter relegation.
The Le Bris team wins 5-0 and draws on goal difference, thus taking the third-to-last place which qualifies for a play-off against the third-placed team in Ligue 2. Incredible epilogue also in the fight for third place: Fonseca’s Lille suffers a 2-2 draw in recovery, Brest will be in the Champions League groups. Lyon, waiting to play the Coupe de France final against PSG, qualifies for the Europa League, while Lens goes to the Conference.
