Ligue 1: Lyon remains glued to the podium, suspense on all floors

Winner of Angers (3-0), Sunday at the end of the 32nd day of Ligue 1, Lyon remains hanging on the podium, one point behind Monaco.

Weaned from victory in the league since March 3 against Rennes (1-0), OL recovered thanks to a brace from Memphis Depay and a goal from Lucas Paqueta allowing him to continue to put pressure on ASM but also the PSG (2e two dots). Lille is still the leader. For its part, the Angers SCO remains 11th in the standings.

Friday, Lille had done the job in Metz (2-0) imitated by Paris on Saturday in Strasbourg (4-1). A little earlier on Sunday, it was Monaco who had had plenty of points in front of the Dijon red lantern (3-0). Six days before the end of the championship, the gap is still very tight in the lead.

The specter of relegation for Nantes

But the suspense is also present for the race for the Europa League. The Lensois, residents of Ligue 2 last season, consolidated their 5th place by dominating Lorient (4-1). The day before, OM and Montpellier had neutralized (3-3) and are respectively 3 and 6 points behind the Lensois. Between the two, Rennes offered a great victory against Nantes (1-0) and is 4 points behind the Sang et Or.

The Canaries, in fact, will have to fight until the end of the season to avoid relegation. With their new defeat, the Nantes people are bogged down in the 19e place, two points behind Nîmes and four behind Lorient on the 17the. And the FCN will host Lyon next week.

On the other hand, after a twelfth defeat in a row, CA Paris record (1933-34) equaled, Dijon seems doomed to Ligue 2. The Burgundians are now 15 lengths from Nîmes.
