Today matchday 22, last of the regular season. In the top or the middle of the ranking, nothing can change. At the bottom, Guingamp is already relegated. The second relegated team will be Strasbourg (14 pts) or Reims (15 pts) The match to follow 17h : Strasbourg - Reims Reims needs only a draw, Stras. needs a win Allez Strasbourg !! Because OL loaned 2 young players to Strasb. and because of Eve Perisset who, after being thanked by Chelsea in the winter transfer window, went to Strasbourg, in commando mode for the club's survival, and also to try to be recalled in the French NT euro 2025
I spoke to Eve at the Lyon Arsenal game as she was doing the DAZN coverage in French alongside Romain Balland. She is really one of the nicest French player around. Playing matchday 22 3/4 days before the play-offs semi-final is not great.

First Strasbourg goal: Maeline Mendy, assist Liana Joseph Second goal : Liana Joseph Mendy and Joseph are the 2 young players loaned by OL, good job
Lyon 4 Dijon 1 PSG 3 PFC 0 PSG sacked their manager Fabrice Abriel on Monday after the cup final defeat. To many internal problems, bizzare line-up choices. The three French clubs in the Champions League are: France 1 : Lyon or PSG qualify for Champions League Group stage. France 2: Lyon qualify for Champions League Group stage. IF Lyon win the p.o. PSG become France 2 France 3 : PSG qualify for Champions League qualifying round 3, regardless of the p.o. final Paris FC becomes France 3 because PSG will be either France 1 or France 2.

Olympique de Marseille looking for some internal restructuring, with McCourt promising investments to have a performant women's team, as well as looking for a solution for a stadium, which is a big problem right now. Impossible to grow the women's team with OM campus' stadium, and nothing besides the Velodrome. Stade Delort, right next to the Velodrome, is considered, but the situation is complicated as the stadium wasn't meant to be for football.

The FFF cancelled promotion from Tier 4 to Tier 3 for FC Lorient. They won their R1F play-off tie against Roussey Sainte Victoire. But they played an ineligible player.
