The final results from the Ligue 1 relegation table have been announced, with Nantes and Clermont avoiding relegation and Ajaccio and Angers being relegated.
Nantes, who finished in fourth place in the league last season, secured their place in the top flight for another year by defeating Nice 2-0 at Stade de France on Sunday. The result means that they will be back in Ligue 1 next season, while their opponents, Nice, will have to fight it out against Montpellier and Lyon for the remaining two spots in the top flight.
Clermont, meanwhile, also secured their spot in the top flight after beating Monaco 2-1 at Stade de la Meinau on Saturday. They finished in seventh place in the league last season, but were able to secure their place in the top flight thanks to a superior goal difference over fellow relegated team Ajaccio.
On the other hand, Ajaccio and Angers were both relegated to Ligue 2 following a disappointing campaign in Ligue 1. Ajaccio, who finished bottom of the league last season, lost 4-1 to Toulouse at Stade des Sports d'Ajaccio on Sunday, while Angers, who finished just outside the relegation zone, were beaten 3-1 by Rennes at Stade de la Beaujoire on Saturday.
Overall, the final results from the Ligue 1 relegation table show that there was no clear-cut winner or loser this season, as all four teams involved had to fight hard to secure their places in the top flight or find themselves facing relegation. However, it is clear that the future looks bright for Nantes and Clermont, who have shown that they have what it takes to compete at the highest level. Meanwhile, the fate of Ajaccio and Angers remains uncertain, as they face tough battles ahead to try and avoid relegation.
