Despite a goalless draw against bottom-placed FC Metz (0-0), OGC Nice found themselves relegated to the Ligue 1 playoffs. The outcome was sealed by victories from direct rivals Auxerre and Le Havre, compelling Le Gym to fight for its top-flight survival through a two-legged battle.

While the mathematical implications of their recent fixture against Metz might not be the primary source of regret, the reality remains stark: the Aiglons failed to secure a home victory against the league’s last-place team, a result that could have altered their Ligue 1 destiny. Unexpectedly, Auxerre, who started the day level on points with Nice, clinched a decisive 2-0 win against LOSC in Lille. Similarly, Le Havre, also battling for survival, triumphed with a 2-0 victory away at Lorient.

The path to retaining their Ligue 1 status now leads through two crucial playoff matches against Saint-Étienne, scheduled for May 26 and 29. These pivotal fixtures will follow closely on the heels of the Coupe de France final, where Nice is set to face Lens this Friday, May 22, at the iconic Stade de France.
