French champion PSG and second-placed Lens qualified for the group stage while third-placed Marseille earned a spot in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League. Messi was booed before kickoff. PSG led 2-0 after a header from the departing Sergio Ramos and a penalty from Mbappe. Mbappe celebrated by holding up a shirt with Sergio Rico's name on it. Rico, the PSG backup goalkeeper, was seriously injured after getting hit by a loose horse in Spain last Sunday. Clermont leveled before halftime with goals from Johan Gatien and Mehdi Zeffane. Grejohn Kyei scored the winner by converting a cross in the 63rd.

"We really needed to pay a tribute to Sergio," Mbappe told Canal Plus television. "I think we are all affected. It's a situation that is extremely grave. That was on our minds the whole week. We will pray, and we will send a maximum of positive vibes so that he can get out of that situation as quickly as possible."
