Lens secured second place in Ligue 1, synonymous with direct qualification for the Cup. With 81 points, Lens can no longer be joined by Marseille, beaten 2-1 by Brest at the Velodrome.
Lens had not been at such a party since the 2001/2002 season, which finished in the same second place. A fireworks display was lit to the famous tune of the Champions League, which will resonate from September in Bollaert, for the first time since 2002/2003.
