In a thrilling finish to the Ligue 1 season, two teams from the bottom half of the table managed to secure their survival while two others were forced to bid farewell to the top-flight competition.

Nantes, who had been struggling for form throughout the season, secured their place in Ligue 1 with a win over Ajaccio at Stade de la Beaujoire on Sunday. The victory was a testament to the team's resilience and determination, as they fought back from behind to claim all three points.

On the other hand, Clermont, who had looked set to be relegated after a poor run of form, pulled off a stunning comeback against Montpellier at Stade de l'Arena. The home side dominated much of the game but failed to find the back of the net until late in the second half when substitute Emmanuel Rivière scored the winner.

Despite their impressive performances, Ajaccio and Angers fell short in their attempts to stave off relegation. Both teams suffered heavy defeats on Saturday, with Ajaccio losing 5-1 to Nice and Angers suffering a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Lyon.

It was a tough end to the season for both Ajaccio and Angers, who will now have to fight hard next season if they hope to avoid relegation once again. However, it was a successful campaign for Nantes and Clermont, who showed that perseverance and determination can pay off in the long run.

Overall, the final result of the Ligue 1 relegation battle was a nail-biting one, with several teams facing elimination in the closing stages of the season. However, there were also some bright spots, such as the survival of Nantes and Clermont, which will give fans of these clubs plenty to cheer about in the coming seasons.
