Final result in Ligue 1 for Nantes and Clermont, avoiding relegation while Ajaccio and Angers are relegated.

Nantes and Clermont have secured their place in the top flight of French football after finishing in second and third places respectively in Ligue 1 this season.

The duo finished just two points behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain, who were crowned champions with a win over Lyon on Sunday evening.

Nantes' triumph was particularly impressive given they had been heavily tipped to be relegated from Ligue 1 following their disappointing finish last term.

Despite losing several key players during the transfer window, including striker Younes Kaboul and defender Benjamin Mendy, the team managed to stay up thanks to their strong performances throughout the campaign.

Clermont's victory was even more remarkable as they had struggled all season and were facing a battle against relegation.

However, the team fought hard and secured a crucial point at home to Montpellier, which gave them hope of survival.

In addition to these two teams, Ajaccio and Angers also suffered relegation after finishing bottom of Ligue 1.

This is a significant blow for both clubs, who will now face the prospect of playing in Ligue 2 next season.

It is clear that the French league has become increasingly competitive in recent years, with many teams fighting for promotion and relegation.

However, it is always disappointing to see teams struggle to maintain their status in the top tier of the league.

With the likes of PSG, Lyon and Monaco continuing to dominate, it remains to be seen whether there will be any surprises come the end of the season.
