A points-per-game system taking into account the performance of clubs in the matches already played was used to determine the final standings in the Ligue 1 table.

Marseille have qualified directly for the Champions League while third-place Rennes will enter the qualifying rounds with Toulouse and Amiens relegated.

Meanwhile Amiens and Lyon have considered legal action against LFP's decision. Lyon were just one point behind 6th-placed Nice who have qualified for the Europa League with 10 matches to play.

Amiens who were four points behind 18th-placed Nimes revealed they would further analyse the reasoning behind the decision reached by the LFP before deciding whether to pursue a legal complaint.

Amiens president Bernard Joannin said in a Facebook live broadcast "Injustice prevails. Amiens could not defend to the end, on the pitch, to remain in Ligue 1".
