I don't really know how Rennes managed to lose against Nantes yesterday. It was one of the crucial games for Rennes surely but they failed to win. Nantes won by 2-1 and hit them hard. Rennes have dropped to the fifth position in the standings suddenly after this poor result. They were in a race to join the Champions League but now they have a harder job to do. There are only two weeks to go now and I wonder if they'll be able to revert this situation.
A rather strange result, given that this game did not decide anything for Nantes in the tournament sense. Taking into account the fact that in the next round Rennes is playing with Marseille, and Strasbourg with a weak Clermont, Rennes has a chance in just two rounds to fly out of the Champions League zone to be in the zone without euro cups.
