For once, the enemy brothers are in the same boat. This Thursday, the daily L’Equipe is actually advancing several measures than the UEFA Executive Committee, which meets in the morning to set the framework for European qualifications if the game does not resume. Enough to help the leaders of French football, currently in a headache. In any case, UEFA rejects the idea of ​​a white season or of considering that the qualifiers for the 2020/2021 edition would be the same as the 2019/2020 vintage. Namely, in France, Paris Saint-Germain, Lille and Olympique Lyonnais in C1, Saint-Etienne, Rennes and Strasbourg in C3.

Between the 27th and the 28th day, it changes everything!

Finally, the governing body of continental football also excludes the fact that the finalists in National Cups, whether Lyon in the Coupe de la Ligue or Saint-Etienne in the Coupe de France against the same opponent, PSG, are not designated as qualified in the Europa League to represent France. These tickets would thus return to the 5th and 6th of the classification. At the time when Ligue 1 stopped, it is Reims and Nice which occupy these positions. The Greens, seventeenth, and especially the Gones, seventh, would therefore be deprived of the European Cup next season. Unless OL can, in the event of the season stopping, hope that the classification on the evening of the 27th day will be the last played in full (the meeting of the 28th day between Strasbourg and PSG has been postponed ), is not taken into account. The Rhone club is in 5th place, Montpellier in 6th. If it is the 28th day, then exit the OL and the MHSC, place at the Stade de Reims and at the OGC Nice. Did you say puzzle?
