The French league will be the first one to start of the top leagues in Europe. The Premier League in England will only have its kick-off one week later, and the German Bundesliga will keep its fans waiting even longer. Luckily fans of French football doesn’t have to wait much, only 1 1/2 week, and then it will be the kick-off for the new French football season.

That might be handy, as it gives the teams more time to play before the big tournaments like the Champions League and the Europe League will start.

Will PSG win Ligue 1 this year?

Last year everyone was surprised that PSG did not win Ligue 1. For the first time in years, another team won the league. AS Monaco was the team to dethrone PSG, but can they keep their place at the top of French football for two seasons in a row? We doubt it, but they have managed to keep quite some of their star players remain in the squad, so maybe AS Monaco will surprise us again?

PSG vs Arsenal in Paris on September 13th

Ligue 1 in France isn’t like La Liga in Spain or Premier League in England were there are big celebrities in all teams. In French Ligue 1 PSG is the famous team, but most other teams lack the big profiles like Messi and Ronaldo in La Liga and like Ibrahimovic, Rooney, Kane, de Bruyne and lots of other players in the Premier League.

That is why you will not always find those fantastic matches in Ligue 1, especially not since PSG has been alone on the throne for the last years, and thus making it less interesting to actually follow the league.

Things might change this season, especially as PSG has already lost a match in Ligue 1 to Monaco. But, in the Champions League they have a tradition of performing well, except from in the knockout stage where PSG seem to have a hard time succeeding.
