Nantes and Ajaccio Relegated from Ligue 1, Clermont Safeguarded

The French football league has seen two teams relegated from the top tier of French football in recent weeks, with Nantes and Ajaccio both being eliminated from Ligue 1.

Nantes, who were crowned champions last season, were defeated by Strasbourg in their final match of the regular season to fall short of automatic promotion to Ligue 2. The club's relegation means that they will be competing in the second-tier league for the first time since 2017-18.

Ajaccio, meanwhile, finished bottom of Ligue 1 after losing all but one of their matches during the campaign. They were also unable to avoid relegation, as they were beaten by Paris Saint-Germain in their final game of the season.

On the other hand, Clermont, who had been battling relegation throughout the season, managed to secure safety in the final match of the regular season. This meant that they will be able to compete in Ligue 1 next season, although it is not yet clear whether they will face any challenges in maintaining their position.

Overall, these results have been a setback for French football, with two top-flight clubs falling out of the competition at the very end. However, it remains to be seen what impact this will have on the league as a whole, and whether there will be any changes made to ensure that such a thing does not happen again in the future.
