Rennes and Nice secure spots in Ligue 1 and Europa League, confirming their qualification.

After a thrilling week in the French football league, Rennes and Nice have secured their places in the top two divisions of European football.

In Ligue 1, Rennes, who finished second last season, has been crowned champions for the first time since 2004. The team's coach, Bruno Genesio, said: "This is a historic moment for us as a club and a city."

Meanwhile, Nice, who finished third last season, also confirmed their place in Europe with a 3-0 win over Montpellier. The victory was enough to see them qualify for the Europa League next season.

The news comes after a difficult few months for both clubs, with Rennes suffering relegation from Ligue 1 earlier this year, while Nice struggled to keep up with their rivals.

However, with the help of some impressive performances in recent weeks, both teams have managed to turn things around and secure their futures in European competition.

For Rennes, it marks a return to the Champions League after a seven-year absence, while for Nice, it will be their first appearance in the Europa League since 2015.

Both sides will now look to build on these successes and continue their upward trajectory in European football, with the hopes of making further progress in the competitions ahead.
