Final Ligue 1 battle on May 20 with Auxerre vs Montpellier & Lorient vs PSG
What Matchday 37 produced
Last weekend, super sub Karim Ait Fana virtually won the title for Montpellier when he broke Lille’s defence in the 90th minute of the match. The hosts were arguably not the better side as they gathered only 37 per cent of ball possession. However, they did what matters most to win a game: to score.
The French Ligue 1 title race is well over for Lille. No matter what happens on Matchday 38 of the championship, the reigning champions will finish third in the table. Lille are currently 7 points above fourth-placed Olympique Lyonnais and 5 points behind Paris-Saint Germain.

Gourcuff Will Always Be Gourcuff, says Wendel
Yoaan Gourcuff has been the target of the French press on numerous occasions this season but former teammate and Bordeaux believes that writing off Gourcuff is a mistake.“Gourcuff is Gourcuff,” Wendel explained to RMC. “He was especially confident at that time; everything went well. He was comfortable on the field; he had a lot of confidence. The coach and the players were behind him.
“Everyone goes through difficult times. He'll become the player who finished the best Ligue 1 player in 2009. He has not lost his technique, finesse and vision. He must continue to work.”
