Any team can beat another one on a given day. Let's be fair, Ligue 1 is not a very good league. Our teams just lost vs Copenhaguen at home and Astana.
Marseille drew with Limassol (!) and Monaco lost both UCL games too. Lyon drew with Donetsk at home. I mean we see the trend here, our ligue 1 teams kinda suck.
We have good young players (among the best in Europe), but that's it. Every year dozens of our best players leave our league to play abroad, so I have a hard time seeing how we could stay competitive while losing all our best players every year without buying anybody worthy (biggest signing of the year is Golovin in Monaco, hardly a game changing player, that says it all).
Liga or PL would suck the same if best players were leaving every year...
It's not rocket science actually. Best players leaving every year, nobody valuable coming to replace them.
Only way would be rich people injecting money, like they did in PSG. But even in Monaco or Lyon they're here mostly to make more money than they spend, and elsewhere they basically have zero money, so the league will stay bad.
It's ok, I watch Liga and Premier League instead (Liga is a far better football but crowds are nice in PL and it's attacking football).
But stop defending our ligue 1, it hurts me even more remembering what it was before Bosman, when Marseille was basically the best team in Europe in 1992 or 1993.
Back to Mbappe, he needs going abroad too if he doesn't want his progression to get stalled. I'm sure he knows that.
But Ligue 1 or not, he's by far the best young player in the world, that's not even close. His world cup performances were as impressive as his 13 minutes quadruple...
