The Devil is back for the umpteenth time, following yet another injury. To the delight of his coach Bruno Genesio.
The final sprint is launched in France. If, unsurprisingly, Paris SG won the title hands down, the race for European places is thrilling. And particularly that for the qualifying places in the Champions League. The Parisians have already validated their ticket for the Cup with big ears, while Marseille, Monaco and Rennes are fighting for the last two, even if Nice and Strasbourg are not yet mathematically out of the race.
A victory on the lawn of Nantes this Wednesday evening would allow Rennes (62 points) to return to equality with Monaco of Philippe Clément (65 pts). The two clubs would then only be three units behind Marseille (68 pts), two days from the end. In addition, the Bretons receive the Phocaeans during the penultimate day of the championship this Saturday. Luckily, Bruno Genesio, the Rennes coach, picked up Jérémy Doku for this final stretch, which ended with a trip to Lille.
