Rennes and Nice have both qualified for the Europa League after finishing in second and third place respectively in the Ligue 1 standings.
The French giants Rennes secured their spot by defeating Bordeaux 2-1 at the Stade de la Beaujoire on Sunday afternoon. The victory was a much-needed boost for the team, who had struggled in recent weeks. The win also means that Rennes will face either Lyon or Paris Saint-Germain in the round of 32 of the competition.
Meanwhile, Nice also clinched their spot in the Europa League with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Dijon at the Parc des Princes. The result saw Nice move up to fourth place in the league table, just two points behind leaders Marseille.
Both teams will now face tougher opponents in the round of 32 of the Europa League, with Rennes facing off against either Lyon or Paris Saint-Germain, while Nice will take on either Braga or Slavia Prague. However, both teams have shown great form this season and are likely to cause some upset along the way.
Overall, it's been another successful campaign for both Rennes and Nice in the Ligue 1 league, with both sides securing their places in Europe's premier club tournament. With more wins ahead, there's no doubt that these teams will be among the favorites to make it far in the competition.
