The joy of the Lille fans makes them forget that this pandemic is still there, positive covid 19 there likely will increase.

Lille have been crowned Ligue 1 champions after winning against Angers and this is their first title in 10 years breaking the PSG supremacy where the time from Paris won 2-0 at Brest but needed a slip-up from leaders Lille and that was not forthcoming.
Congratulations to Lille and to those who decided to bet on them winning the leauge.

@acquafredda congratulations to Lille they definitely deserved the title, but I sincerely doubt that next season they’ll be able to hold on to it. Furthermore do you’ll expect PSG to sell few player’s and change their team, because this team clearly lacks the balance required to win the titles.

Psg lost the title because they also had to fight until the final stages of the Champions League while Lille was eliminated a bit earlier from the Europa League.Of course Lille completely deserved the title as they were the most consistent team and they also won their direct match against Psg which basically gave them the title.I also agree that when you have a lot of good players is difficult to find a good balance between them so I think Psg can afford to sell some of them and try to build on the remaining ones a team like the one they won many consecutive Ligue 1 titles as of lately.

I think it was really obvious that Lille weren't going to make a huge mistake as the Ligue 1 title was at stake. Angers had nothing left to do in the league so this was an ordinary game for them. Lille started the game very strongly and finished the job. Burak Yilmaz scored again and he was amazing the whole season. He scored 16 goals and made 5 assists in this season.

Congrats, Lille! They totally deserved this title.

I almost completely overlooked the last day in French league! Missed all the drama and just saw PSG have nothing to show for this season except the cup. Tuchel will be happier with Chelsea maybe and poor Poch will likely be blamed for losing the title. Well done to Lille! Their keeper also had 23 clean sheets AMAZING.

You never know mate, it is sports and I have seen teams who lose at the last second as well. This year it wasn't like that, Lille was at the top and won and ATM was at the top and they won La Liga as well, Besiktas was at the top and won the Turkish super league. However last second stuff do happen, look at Chelsea for example who lost the third spot on the very last game, and interestingly they do lose a quite good sum of money as well from FA as well because teams get money depending on where they finish the league. So long story short we are talking about something that would be understandable if Lille lost, would be a huge upset but it would be totally understandable and did happened before.

It's great, I didn't check that but with these big clean sheets it is fitting that Lille get the Ligue 1 title and congratulations to Lille. I bet almost all the matches in the last round but unfortunately, the bets made were like reckless bets that I did and I suffered a loss even though indeed, for the match between Lille and PSG yesterday I was pretty sure they would win and still the champion was Lille.

The trophy of the 2020/21 season title has made Lille successfully decide PSG's dominance in ligue 1 so far, we know that in the last 3 years PSG has dominated by winning the Ligue 1 trophy and of course with Lille's success in Ligue 1 this year has become the fourth trophy so far Lille history, so it is only natural that their fans should be euphoric to show their joy because their team won even though they did not have strong financial support but it is quite unfortunate if this euphoria makes them forget about the pandemic that is currently still hitting the world, especially if we know that France is one of the countries that has quite a lot of victims who died, which is more than 100K people.

Leaving Lille and PSG aside this is what happened to other part of Ligue1: Monaco managed to qualify for the Champions League preliminaries, finishing third in the standings, while Lyon and Marseille advanced to the Europa League group stage. Conference League for Rennes. At the bottom of the table, after the direct relegation of Nimes and Dijon, Nantes gained access to the play-offs, while Brest itself earned to stay in the French top league.

If Lyon managed to beat Nice home, then they were going to promote to the CL qualification. Lyon were actually 2-1 ahead against them and I thought that they would win the game. After the games finished, I checked the results and it was really shocking to see that they lost 2-3. It was a huge opportunity as Monaco drew with Lens 0-0 but they couldn't benefit from it.

It's incredible really, when you've got Lyon, Monaco, PSG in your league, and you ca keep more than half clean sheets. Total shutouts are getting harder to do I think in the modern game and especially in this damn Corona season I think he did really really well. Totally deserved and I hope they challenge again next season.

Toulouse is playing Nantes tonight, for a Ligue1 spot next season
it is played on two games, and Nantes is a bit better team, since they were Ligue1 team this season, but Toulouse is ready to kick them out

it is good for a home win tonight, and I will put this on my list, especially since @2.8 is worth the risk, IMO, Nantes will have their chance at home, to fight back, but I think that Toulouse will see Ligue1 next season

[dwminer1]

I expect a very even game today. Touluse is a pretty good team, they pose a threat to any opponent in their stadium. Nantes fought bravely to stay at Ligue 1 at the end of the season and were really close to that after 4 wins in a row. Usually a lot of goals are scored in matches both teams and I hope that the stake of the match will not make it any different today. I bet over 2.5 goals

I'd definitely back the home team for the first leg, but Nantes will be more desperate to go back up I guess though they may feel if they don't make it then they will get stuck, but you're right at those odds it seems worth to back Toulouse.

Do you know if there are any spots other than Ligue 1 for the new Conference league? Through a different cup route maybe? I'm trying to learn more about it as the prize money seems attractive for small clubs.

Congratulations on your win as the final score was 1-2 for Nantes win. I personally only believe that Nantes, who have had tough competition before in Ligue 1, are certainly better prepared than Toulouse in Ligue 2. So it's no wonder that even though this is an away game I still bet on Nantes @2.85, but there are still leg 2 next and even so I'm still very confident that Nantes will still be in Ligue 1 next season.

Nantes didn't surprise me and got a huge advantage before the rematch. To be honest, I thought that Nantes would draw with Toulouse in the first leg and finish the job in the rematch. But it seems like they already ended their opponent in the first leg away. But it's still too early to say things for certain. Let's just wait and see.

Nantes is in good form in the last 7-8 matches they won most of them . This win isnt a suprise at all . But i hoped toulouse would put more of an effort
Nantes now has a good result for the rematch soon. They just need to draw at least at home and i think that isnt hard if something dosent go horrible wrong at start

yeah, it is not all over, but Nantes is close to having another Ligue1 season
expected more from Toulouse last night, but they did not delivered, will think about backing them in re-match as well, but clearly doubt that they could kick-out Nantes after first match

fast goal by Blas changed complete dynamics and could prove that 10 minutes was enough for Nantes to secure and avoid relegation

[hahay]

Last night's relegation match between Nantes - Toulouse was won by Toulouse but even so, Nantes still have the right to advance to Ligue 1 next season on aggregate. I thought and hoped that Nantes would still win in the second leg last night, but it looks like they don't have that target and even Nantes' goal attempts and shots on goal are very low. If I look at the performance from the first and second legs, I think Toulouse deserves a chance to play in Ligue 1 but unfortunately, they are still not lucky even though Nantes are playing badly.

Totally forgot about the game, didn't pay attention about it even in bookies.. Nantes escaped from relegation with 2-2 aggregation thanks to scoring 2 goals away! That was a weak performance imo and with such bad results I wonder how they could resist in the next season.
