Olympique de Marseille is now ahead of Lyon in the UEFA rankings. Marseille qualified for the Europa League quarter-finals against Villarreal.
Lyon are paying for their absence from the Champions League. PSG occupy the best place at the French level, 4th behind Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. Rennes (47th) and Marseille (7th) are the only French clubs in the top 50. The UEFA ranking is in fact calculated on the basis of the last five years.
