Nice, Marseille, Monaco Secure Champions League Spots; Saint-Etienne Relegated

Nice secured a fourth-place finish in Ligue 1 and a spot in next season's UEFA Champions League third qualifying round by defeating Brest 6-0 on the final day of the French season. The Ineos-owned club took an early lead through Evann Guessand and maintained dominance with Gaetan Laborde scoring twice, alongside goals from Badredine Bouanani, Terem Moffi, and Ali Abdi. This victory ensured Nice's Champions League qualification, while Lille, finishing fifth after a late penalty win over Reims, qualified for the Europa League. Strasbourg's 3-2 loss to Le Havre contributed to a dramatic relegation battle, with Le Havre escaping relegation thanks to a stoppage-time penalty, sending Reims into a relegation playoff against Metz. Paris Saint-Germain had already secured the Ligue 1 title, with Marseille and Monaco also qualifying for European competitions before the final round of matches. Nice will need to win two two-legged ties in August to reach the Champions League group stage.
