Marseille snatch the Champions League on the wire
Olympique de Marseille can thank RC Lens.
In additional time, while they were well ahead of RC Strasbourg Alsace (4-0), and pushed to score an extra goal to get ahead of AS Monaco - temporarily 2nd - on goal difference , the Phocaeans received a nice surprise from Stade Félix-Bollaert where Ignatius Ganago equalized in the very last moments of the game.
A goal - welcomed with fervor by the Stade Vélodrome - which offered on the wire the place of dolphin to the club of Canebière.
Jorge Sampaoli and his men will therefore play in the Champions League next season.

Romain Hamouma offers hope to the Greens
AS Saint-Etienne can breathe, but not for too long.
For much of this multiplex, the Greens were temporarily relegated to Ligue 2 due to a looming setback against FC Nantes.
Except that the experienced Romain Hamouma, who came into play at the break, managed to equalize in the last minutes of the match (1-1), thus offering the place of play-off to the Greens since at the same time FC Metz bowed heavily against Paris Saint-Germain (5-0).
ASSE did the job.
However, it is not finished.

An achievement that lost the Principality club two points...and the runner-up spot at the same time.

FC Metz sinks … until Ligue 2
Before this 38th day of Ligue 1, FC Metz had the same number of points as AS Saint-Etienne but were ahead thanks to goal difference.

For a long time, this setback did not prevent them from keeping their place as play-offs.
