The resounding coronation of PSG in the Champions League, after a final won 5-0 against Inter on May 31 in Munich, unfortunately does not give an additional ticket to Ligue 1 for the three European Cups next season. OM and AS Monaco, which complete the podium in the hexagonal classification behind the red and blue, are directly qualified for the first phase of the LDC at eight matches (with so many different opponents).

The OGC Nice arrived 4th in Ligue 1 and will have to go through the third qualification round of the C1 this summer (draw on July 21, first leg on August 5 or 6, return match on August 12 or 13). The Aiglons will not be seeded in the 3rd round and will not be so in the event of participation in the dams (drawing lots on August 4, first leg on August 19 or 20, return match on August 26 or 27). An elimination in the 3rd round will send the Niçois directly in the first phase of the Europa League.

LOSC and OL are already guaranteed to participate in the Europa League, the Gones being directly qualified in favor of the PSG victory in the Coupe de France before the Stade de Reims in the final (3-0). Finally, the RC Strasbourg, 7th in the ranking, will go into the league conference dam (draw on August 4, first leg on August 21, return match on August 28). No, RC Lens, 8th in the French championship, does not suddenly receive European sesame. On the other hand, the Champions League won by a French club, 5th European championship, has an impact on three foreign teams.

PSG qualifies the Greece champion

Olympiakos is the other winner of the historic coronation of PSG. The Greece champion was to enter the second round of the Champions League in the second round of qualifying but is now directly sent in the C1 League. The Pirée club, where Rémy Cabella has just signed, will appear in the third hat of the draw alongside OM (ASM is in the last hat).

UEFA also indicates that Qarabag, the champion of Azerbaijan, and the Slovan Bratislava, champion of Slovakia, will both enter the 2nd round of qualifications instead of the first. Note that the maintained suspension of Russian clubs also allows Pafos, champion of Cyprus, and Ferencvaros, champion of Hungary, to avoid the first round and to enter the second.
