In the latest round of Ligue 1 football action, Nice have secured their place in Europe's elite competition with a thrilling victory over Lyon at Stade de France on Sunday.
The match was a closely contested affair, with both teams creating chances and testing each other's defence throughout. However, it was Nice who ultimately emerged victorious, thanks to a late winner from substitute striker Maxime Lopez.
The win saw Nice move up to sixth place in the table, with a game to spare, and secure their place in the Europa League for next season. It also marked a historic moment for the club, as they have never previously reached this stage of European football.
For Lyon, it was a disappointing result, with the team finishing the season in ninth place and missing out on a top-four finish. The defeat was only the second time this season that Lyon have been defeated by Nice, with the first coming back in October.
Despite the disappointment, Lyon will be hoping to bounce back in the upcoming Coupe de France final against Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday. A win there could well see them end the campaign on a high note, while Nice will now focus on preparing for their Europa League campaign, which starts later this month.
