Mbappé facing Costil during PSG-Bordeaux, February 23, 2020. - Christophe Ena / AP / SIPA

It is undoubtedly still only the beginning of the rat race, but it is a decision which fixes a heavy tendency. According to information from the Team and RMC, the League's board of directors agreed Thursday morning to ratify the 2019/2020 edition of the championship and declare PSG champion of France.

Classification frozen according to the point / match ratio which would give:

PSG (Champion) Marseille Rennes ➡️ Champions League

Lille Reims Nice ➡️ Europa League

Amiens and Toulouse ➡️ Ligue 2 # Girondins ➡️ 12th

Solution not yet final because must be ratified by the GA of the LFP. pic.twitter.com/DuMPnTV30K

Nathalie Boy de la Tour (the president), Didier Quillot (the CEO), Noël Le Graët (the president of the FFF), and the presidents representing the college of Ligue 1 (Al-Khelaïfi, Caillot, Chabane, Eyraud, Joannin , Kita, Nicollin and Caïazzo) also agreed on a fixed classification proposal according to the quotient method proposed by the FFF for amateur football. In this case, OM would be qualified directly for C1, Rennes for the preliminary round, and Lille for the Europa League. Nice and Reims, 5th and 6th according to the calculation, would complete the list of clubs qualified for the preliminary rounds of the C3.

Non-European Lyon, Lens and Lorient in L1?

A choice that risks to storm Jean-Michel Aulas, whose club will not be European unless winning the final of the League Cup against PSG, if the latter can be played in August. The pill will be hard to swallow for OL, still qualified in C1, and used to crazy sprints to scratch the podium at the finish. But Gérard Lopez, who argued in the Team for another method of calculation allowing Lille to return to C1, will not be much more satisfied.

The principle of two descents (Amiens and Toulouse) for two climbs (Lens and Lorient) was also retained, even if this decision must still be validated by a formal vote of the Board Thursday afternoon, then by the General Assembly of the LFP in May.
