PARIS (AP) — Now that Paris Saint-Germain has clinched the French title, the scramble for remaining Champions League places will dominate the final three rounds. Monaco reached the Champions League final 20 years ago and is a competition regular. Heading into this weekend’s games, the Principality side sat in second place and two points ahead of third-place Brest, the tiny Brittany club that has never played in Europe’s elite club competition. Just one point behind Brest in fourth is Lille, which has one of the league’s most balanced squads and features Canada striker Jonathan David, who has scored 17 goals. Fifth-place Nice still has a shot, too, five points back of Brest. The teams finishing second and third will join PSG in the Champions League group-stage draw next season, while the fourth-place team will enter the qualifying rounds. |
