Soccer-Monaco finish season in style, OM takes Europa League spot

PARIS, May 20 ( Reuters) - French champions Monaco finished the Ligue 1 season in style with a record 12th consecutive win as they beat Stade Rennais 3-2 away on Saturday.

Monaco, who prevailed with goals by Fabinho, Jemerson and Jorge, finished with 95 points, eight ahead of Paris St Germain after the capital side were held 1-1 by Caen at the Parc des Princes.

Olympique de Marseille secured a Europa League spot by finishing fifth with a 1-0 home win against Bastia that relegated the Corsican club to Ligue 2.

They were joined on their way down by Nancy despite their 3-1 home victory against St Etienne, and Lorient will need a playoff against Ligue 2 third-placed Troyes to keep their place in the elite after Saturday's 1-1 draw against Girondins de Bordeaux.

Bordeaux finished sixth and will play in the Europa League provided PSG beat Angers in next Saturday's French Cup final. (Reporting by Julien Pretot, editing by Pritha Sarkar)
