Lille held their nerve to claim a first Ligue 1 title in 10 years with top goalscorer Burak Yilmaz on target in a 2-1 win at Angers which clinched the championship. One point was all that separated Lille – who endured a nervy finale after Angelo Fulgini’s stoppage-time goal – and the Champions League semi-finalists, who failed to win the title for the first time in four years. Nantes’ 2-1 defeat to Montpellier left them in the relegation while Rennes’ 2-0 win over Nimes helped them leapfrog Lens and qualify for the Europa Conference League. Roberto Pereyra did pull one back for Udinese but Antonio Conte was able to lift the title after one last league win. In Holland, Dick Advocaat bowed out from management by guiding Feyenoord to a 2-0 win over Utrecht in the Eredivisie play-off to qualify for the Europa Conference League.
