L1 – AS Monaco, OM, Rennes: all the scenarios for the Champions League before the 38th day

There are those who refuse to count. And those who engage in apothecary calculations. This Saturday, nothing has yet been decided regarding the identity of the team that will accompany PSG in the group stage of the Champions League 2022-2023. Astounding winners against Brest (4-2), AS Monaco nevertheless seem to be in the best position because they have their destiny in their hands.-

With a three-point lead over Rennes and a better goal difference than OM, ASM enjoys a more comfortable mattress than Jorge Sampaoli’s troops. The Olympians can secure the podium with just one small point, but the worst-case scenario also exists, with Rennes going ahead on the gong. As a reminder, here are the criteria that apply in the event of a tie on points between several teams:
