While bonuses were granted at the end of the different championship phases of the three European cups, including France, the play-offs appeared this week. It should also be noted that the points recovered in the dam reports half fewer points than in the championship phase. The opportunity for LOSC and OL to look warm their future opponent in the next round but also the three French clubs in the running. And the least we can say is that it was complicated. Not for PSG who wandered in Guingamp against Brest in this Franco-French shock, but indeed for the Breton club which received a lesson in the PSG of Ousmane Dembélé with a heavy score (0-3) .
As for AS Monaco, she did not show anything against Benfica, losing the first leg to Louis II (0-1). The princely club was not spared from the arbitration, once again facing the LisBoets, with the more than severe expulsion of Al-Musrati. There is therefore only one victory to be put under the tooth while at the same time, the Netherlands, more than present in the various dams, almost full of victories with 4 successes in 5 games .
The Netherlands come back strongly to France!
In the Champions League, the Feyenoord won 1-0 against AC Milan thanks to a blunder by Mike Maignan. In the Europa League, three Dutch successes in as many matches: Ajax against Union Saint-Gilloise (2-0), AZ Alkmaar against Galatasaray (4-1) and FC Twente against Bodø/Glimt (2- 1). Only the PSV Eindhoven bit the dust and little, facing Juventus Turin (2-1). Result, the Dutch (+1.334, 65,150) resumed more than one point only this week on France (+0.286, 69,379 points).
Today, the tricolor advance against the Netherlands is relatively comfortable (4.229). However, if the results of the return dams are as favorable as those of the round trips, the Dutch threat will be more pressing, especially since the Dutch clubs could find themselves in the next round. As a reminder, fifth place in the 5 -year index classification is vital to keep a fourth qualifying place for the Champions League…
