You would be naiive if you don't believe that 75% of Ligue 1 teams are shit. Its definitely a walkover against those teams. Remember, Ibra used to score 30+ goals.
No one says PSG are a shit team, its just that they play in a mediocre league and act like kings after battering those teams.
They have a good team? Yes.
Can they beat good teams? Yes
Are they in the same league as Barca, RM? No.
Seems you edited your post, because apparently (according to my mail notification at least) you said at first "Ibra used to score 40+ goals", which was obviously wrong but tend to prove you had false ideas about Ligue 1.
Ibra scored more than 30 goals in Ligue 1 only once. His last season in France, which was very impressive. His other seasons ended with 30, 26 and 19 goals. Keep in mind though that he scored 28 goals in 32 appearances with Milan AC in Serie A, for his last season in Italy. He was at the top of his game when he left for Paris, and his numbers in France are very close to his numbers when he left Milan. While playing for PSG, he also scored 20 goals in 33 UCL games. It was overall the most prolific part of his career. He might have scored less in another league, we'll never know, but you're not talking about a player who was completely finished and became huge again when he arrived in France. The fact that Manchester United signed him, and that he was very successful there before his injury confirms that his french numbers aren't just due to an alleged weakness of the league.
Anyway, the reason is quoted your post earlier is that your argument ("PSG is shit, the proof is they can't destroy shitty teams") is the exact opposite of someone else's argument in the Rabiot thread ("in la Liga, lower tier teams manage to get good results against our best teams, which proves that La Liga is a tougher league than its french counterpart"). Hence the fact that it's useless for Jair (or for me) to fight against arguments like that: he just can't be right.
I would never say they're in the same league as Barca or RM, of course not, but that's not really what my post was all about. People tend to shit all over Ligue 1 as if LaLiga was filled with 20 incredible teams. Said it before, gonna say it again then: la Ligue 1 isn't as good as La Liga or EPL, obviously, but it's definitely not as bad as what everyone here think it is. There's a reason why most successful players in Ligue 1 are doing rather well in bigger leagues too. Of course there's always some exceptions (depending on the player's new team/new coach, his style of play, his general form, his adaptation and so on). But it couldn't be true if there was a gap such as what most people here imagine. There's a step, yes, but that's it.
