Rennes win Ligue 1 Final and Ajaccio relegated, end of season chaos
Updated:2025-10-24 08:32 Views:138The final day of the 2020-2021 Ligue 1 season saw some nail-biting drama as Rennes secured their first ever title in the top flight of French football, while Ajaccio were relegated to Ligue 2 after a tumultuous campaign.
For Rennes, the victory was a long time coming. After finishing second last season, the team had been heavily tipped to finish bottom once again this year. But with a string of impressive performances throughout the campaign, they ended up being crowned champions on the final day.
As for Ajaccio, it was a different story altogether. The club struggled throughout the season, suffering from injuries and a lack of form. They finished just one point above the relegation zone, meaning that they will be playing in Ligue 2 next term.
The end of the season also saw some other interesting developments. In the race for the UEFA Europa League spot, Paris Saint-Germain came out on top by beating Marseille 2-0 at the Parc des Princes. This means that PSG will be heading to Europe for the first time since 2016, while Marseille will have to settle for the Europa Conference League.
Overall, it has been another exciting season in French football, with plenty of surprises and twists. While Rennes' triumph is certainly a cause for celebration, the fate of Ajaccio's future in the top flight is a cause for concern. But regardless of the outcome, there can be no denying that this was an unforgettable season in the history of French football.
