FC Basel clearly beat Luzern 4:0 in the last game of the season, meaning the Central Swiss club will miss out on a place in next season's European competition.
In addition to the trophy presentation at St. Jakob-Park, the last matchday of the Championship Group was about the allocation of the European Cup places. FC Luzern could have moved into the top four with a win in Basel. However, the Central Swiss side quickly slipped to their fifth defeat in a row. Albian Ajeti, whose contract extension was announced before the match, and Philip Otele, whose loan contract expires at the end of June, scored in the first 40 minutes to give Basel a 2-0 lead.
In addition to the goals, the substitution of Taulant Xhaka in the 34th minute was another highlight of the first half. The Basel identification figure ended his career after over 400 games for FCB. After the break, Anton Kade and Bénie Traoré scored the other goals. Xherdan Shaqiri scored his 39th and 40th points of the season with two assists. For Luzern, the season, which seemed so promising at first, ended with a clear defeat and no international business.
