The most intense competition for Champions League qualification this season is not the Premier League, but the French Ligue 1 - the last round, 4-gamble 1

We say that a league is fierce in competition, but there are actually multiple dimensions. If you only look at the championship, it would be biased. Take this season's Premier League for example. Liverpool has laid the advantage of winning the championship early and won the championship multiple rounds in advance. So, does this mean that the competition in the Premier League is not fierce?

So, there is another dimension, which is the competition for Champions League qualification.

From this point of view, the competition in the Premier League this season is really unprecedentedly fierce. Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest, are all on this track. And even Bournemouth, Fulham, and Brighton were also listed earlier.

However, there are 5 UEFA Champions League places next season, which has eased the intensity of competition for Champions League qualification to a certain extent. In fact, there is another league in Europe, and the competition for Champions League seats is more intense, but the influence of this league is not as strong as that of the Premier League, and there are not as many top teams, so it is easy to be ignored - Ligue 1.

How fierce is the Champions League seat competition in Ligue 1? There is still the last round left in this season, but the Champions League qualification battle is actually one in four. In other words, four teams, in the last round, grab a place.

We view the standings of the first. After 33 rounds, Paris Saint-Germain, Marseille and Monaco ranked in the top three. Among them, Monaco is 4 points ahead of the fourth place, which means that the top three will definitely win a Champions League place. There are 4 UEFA Champions League places in Ligue 1, so it depends on who can get the fourth place.

The fourth place is Nice, but the points of fifth place Lille and sixth place Strasbourg are 57 points like Nice, but they are ranked behind because of their goal difference. In the last round, the relationship between these three teams was very subtle, and if Nice tied or lost, it would be very dangerous. In addition, even if they win and Lille or Strasbourg wins a big win, the goal difference will catch up, which is also very dangerous for Nice.

In the last round, Nice, Lille and Strasbourg's opponents are Brest, Lance and Le Havre, who are the strongest opponents in Nice. Therefore, there are still variables in Nice's fourth place.

And don't forget Lyon in the seventh place. Lyon currently has 54 points, three points less than Nice. But isn’t it just a win? Of course, if Lyon wants to counterattack and get a seat in the Champions League, it will take multiple miracles to explode together to achieve it. First of all, Lyon wants to defeat Angers, this problem is not too big. But at the same time, it is too difficult to expect Nice, Lille and Strasbourg to lose together. Therefore, Lyon's winning of a Champions League seat only has a theoretical possibility. But Lyon's advantage is goal difference, and their goal difference is more than all three teams mentioned above, so once the three teams lose together, Lyon will soar.

This is the last round of Ligue 1, where four teams compete for a Champions League place. Is it more exciting and cruel than the Premier League? Relatively speaking, Lyon has the least chance of grabbing this seat, and is infinitely close to zero. As for the other three teams, it is really hard to say. The overall goal difference and the strength of the opponents, it can be said that the probability of success of the three teams is basically the same. There are also slight possibilities, and there are situations where the three or two teams have relatively good results in the competition.

In the context of Paris Saint-Germain easily won the Ligue 1 championship, the biggest suspense in Ligue 1 has become who will win the fourth Champions League place. The four-game-one model is indeed more powerful than the Premier League competition model. But to be honest, no matter who wins this seat, these four teams will not attract our attention. This is also in line with the position of Ligue 1 in European football. After all, besides Paris Saint-Germain, who else can support the banner of Ligue 1 in the Champions League?
