Rennes has clinched a top-four spot in the Ligue 1 standings after securing a 3-2 victory over Monaco on Saturday. The win means that Rennes is now just three points behind second-placed Paris Saint-Germain and two ahead of third-placed Nice.
The result was also a significant boost for Rennes' chances of qualifying for the Europa League next season. With only six games remaining in the league campaign, Rennes still have a chance of finishing as high as fourth place, which would mean they would be guaranteed a place in Europe's premier club competition.
In addition to their impressive performance against Monaco, Rennes also secured a crucial win over fellow title contenders Paris Saint-Germain. The game was a closely contested affair, but Rennes managed to hold on for a 3-2 victory, thanks to goals from Benjamin Mendy and Eduardo Camavinga.
Rennes manager Christophe Galtier praised his players for their resilience and determination in securing the win against PSG. "We knew it was going to be tough, but we were determined to come out on top," he said. "We played well, scored a couple of good goals, and we're happy to secure a big win."
With just six games left to play, Rennes will need to focus all their efforts on securing a top-four finish to ensure their Europa League qualification. However, with such a strong run of form, there is every chance that they can achieve this goal and make history by securing a top-four finish for the first time in their history.
