Three days before the end of the championship, Lyon is sixth in Ligue 1 to four points from OM (2nd), three from Nice (3rd), two from Lille (4th) and one from Monaco. It is the national federations that transmit to UEFA the files allowing the establishment of an essential license to allow the commitment of their teams in European interclub competitions: the Champions League, the Europa League or the Europa Conference League. Such a twist could change a race for Europe which will have rarely been so tight in the final sprint if this file never found a way out. But before that, OM will have to close the door anyway to an even closer prosecutor, this Sunday evening in Lille this Sunday evening.
