The French League 1 has a particularly indecisive end of the season, despite the accession of Paris Saint-Germain to the title of champion for the thirteenth time, an achievement already consumed two weeks ago. Attention is now focused on the fierce battle for qualifying places for the Champions League, where the podium competition remains extremely tight and unpredictable. A gap of only five points separates the teams ranked second and seventh, highlighting the volatility of the situation and the uncertainty as to the identity of the teams that will join Paris Saint-Germain in the prestigious European competition.
Analysis of the remaining calendars of the teams claiming to be on the podium reveals divergent perceptions. The LOSC, according to external observers, seems to benefit from the most affordable program on paper, its upcoming meetings being considered the most favorable among all competitors. This perception is shared by the “Journal de Saône-et-Loire*, which considers the Lille club the most likely candidate to secure a place on the podium.
On the other hand, AS Monaco and GOC Nice are seen as facing increasing difficulties. The Dauphiné Libéré* anticipates an arduous end to the season for AS Monaco, while the Journal de Saône-et-Loire* also considers that the schedule of the Nice GOC will not be a formality. These analyses highlight the complexity of the qualification struggle and the uncertainty about the outcome of this final phase of the season.
