Round 38 Football Results: Ajaccio and Angers Relegate to Ligue 2 after Losses to Clermont and Lyon

Ajaccio and Angers have been relegated from the top flight of French football, with losses to Clermont and Lyon respectively in their final games of the season.

The defeat to Clermont on Sunday meant that Ajaccio finished bottom of the table and will now be playing in Ligue 2 next season. The club has struggled in recent years and has not made much progress in the league since its promotion in 2017-18.

Angers' relegation was confirmed earlier this week when they lost 4-1 at home to Paris Saint-Germain in their final game of the season. The club had also failed to win any of their last five matches, which included a 5-1 loss to Nice in mid-November.

Both clubs were relegated due to financial difficulties and poor performance in the league. The decision to promote them back into the top flight has been controversial, with many fans and experts arguing that they should have stayed in Ligue 1.

The relegation of Ajaccio and Angers is a blow for French football and could lead to further changes in the league structure. It remains to be seen how the clubs will adapt to life in Ligue 2 and whether they can turn things around in the coming seasons.
