Relegation Confirmation for Ligue 1 Teams: Nantes and Ajaccio Reach Safe Ground, Clermont Escapes with Victory.

Nantes and Ajaccio have both secured their place in the relegation zone for next season's Ligue 1 campaign after suffering defeat against Rennes and Caen respectively on Sunday.

The two teams had been battling to avoid relegation from Ligue 1 this season but were unable to turn things around in the final few weeks of the campaign.

Nantes were held to a goalless draw by Rennes at Stade de France, while Ajaccio lost 2-1 away to Caen at Stade Louis II. This means that both clubs will be playing in Ligue 2 next term.

Clermont, meanwhile, have managed to escape relegation from Ligue 1 with a hard-fought victory over Troyes. The hosts came out strong in the first half and took the lead through a penalty from Jonathan Ikoné before Troyes equalised through Maxime Matuidi.

However, Clermont refused to back down and scored twice in the second half to secure all three points and keep their hopes alive of staying up in Ligue 1.

It is a relief for the players and staff of Clermont, who had been under pressure throughout the season. The win has also given them some much-needed confidence ahead of the new season.

Overall, it was another disappointing week for Ligue 1 teams as they continued to battle to stay in the top flight. However, there were some positives to take away from the results, such as the survival of Clermont and the confirmation of relegation for Nantes and Ajaccio. It remains to be seen how these teams will fare in Ligue 2, but one thing is certain - the future of French football looks bright.
