A much less exciting week for French clubs in the European Cup, with the elimination of PSG and two bad start situations.
The elimination of PSG will represent a big shortfall in the Champions League, with its place in the semi-finals and then in the final for the past two years. This season again, Paris SG is the French club that brings in the most points, with 19 collected, but that should not last. As for the good news, OL and OM have won and can consider qualifying for the quarter-finals, which would confirm this already promising season for French football. On the other hand, Monaco and Rennes are in difficulty against Braga and Leicester, as is Lille one week before their return match against Chelsea. Suffice to say that the month of March could give rise to skimming which would slow down France, and would endanger its third place behind England and the Netherlands for this season.

UEFA index for the 2021-2022 season
- England 16,428
- Netherlands 16,200
- France 16.083
- Spain 15,000
- Italy 13,714
- Germany 13,357
- Portugal 11.416
Because Spain is coming back strong, and still has six clubs in the race, even if some Seville formations are in difficulty. In any case, the two double confrontations against the Portuguese of Braga and Porto will count in the distance duel between the two countries for the famous 5th place in the UEFA index over the last 5 seasons, which still serves as a reference for the allocation of European places. Next Thursday’s return matches will therefore be of crucial importance for this end of the season.
