Following the declarations by the Prime Minister to the National Assembly, the LFP Board of Directors has officially ended the 2019/20 Ligue 1 season.

To determine the final Ligue 1 Conforama standings, the LFP used the same rule as the FFF in the amateur championships: average number of points earned per match.

Sitting sixth after their win over derby rivals Monaco on 7 March, OGC Nice ended in fifth place thanks to a better head to head record against Stade de Reims, who finished with an identical average. Patrick Vieira’s side defeated Reims 2-0 at Allianz Riviera, before drawing 1-1 in Champagne.

It could have an important impact on European places, depending on the outcome of the final of the Coupe de France ( between PSG and Lyon, and the Coupe de la Ligue, between PSG and Saint-Etienne ). "We don’t know if it’s possible yet, but we are hoping to play these finals in early August,” explained LFP general director Didier Quillot to the press via telephone. Our aim is to start the 2020/21 championships on 22 and 23 August, at the latest.” The final start date will be decided in consultation with the official broadcasters (Médiapro, Canal+, Free, beIN SPORTS), and in light of governmental decisions, added the LFP, who will hold their General Assembly on 20 May. To know if Le Gym will qualify for Europe next season, we have to wait to see if the Cup finals will be played and if PSG wins at least one of the two.
