Four French clubs will be involved in the same European Cup final phase. Stade Rennais, TFC and Olympique de Marseille will compete in the play-offs of the C3 knockout phase.
RC Lens were third in their group in the Champions League and therefore transferred to C3. Lille qualified directly for the round of 16 of the Europa League by finishing at the top of their group. The Dogues will know their opponent on Friday February 23, when they face Fribourg.
