Farmers what?

After the madness of Wednesday night, it's time to contemplate the incredible performance achieved by French clubs during the regular phase of the Champions League.

Along with England, France is simply the only country in the European Top 5 to have each of its clubs qualified for the knockout phase in the Champions League.

In Spain, it was Girona that failed to qualify, just like Bologna in Italy. For the Bundesliga, it was a mixed bag, with RB Leipzig and VfB Stuttgart being eliminated.

France's performance is all the more notable, given that Lille took the scalp of Real and Atlético, while Monaco was the only team to beat Barça in the competition.

Of course, Brest's fantastic campaign, which beat PSV Eindhoven and resisted Bayer Leverkusen, is worth mentioning.

A campaign that is already historic.
