After 127 years since Ligue 1 was established in the 1893–94 season, football clubs in France have progressed strongly. Do you know which team is dominating the record of this competition? Let’s see the result of the best 5 Ligue 1 winners with us today!
5. Nantes
FC Nantes have not had good results recently but they had been a redoubtable power of the top division in France football. Until now, Nantes have had 8 times lifting the Ligue 1 trophy and 7 times becoming the runners-up in this aggressive tournament.
The team won their first Ligue 1 title in the 1964–65 season and won their last in the 2000–01 season. The rise of other clubs in the league has surely led to the unexpected downfall of FC Nantes ever since.
4. Monaco
Monaco are exactly one of the clubs having threatened the dominance of FC Nantes before. This team also had 8 Ligue 1 titles and 7 times being the runners-up. Furthermore, this club did not only just stop PSG’s modern-era domination, but has also finished runners-up on numerous occasions.
3. Paris Saint-Germain
Having won 7 titles in the last 8 seasons and had 9 titles overall, PSG now is the powerhouse of not only the french domestic circuit, but in the UEFA Champions League as well. The club’s star-studded squad has dismantled many gigantic football teams and have emerged as one of the best squads in the modern era.
With the likes of Neymar, Angel Di Maria, Marquinous, Kylian Mbappe, and new high-quality members such as Messi, Ramos, Donnarumma, etc, the French rich club is expected to get more and more titles in the future.
2. Saint-Étienne
After winning the first title in the 1956–57 edition, Saint Etienne had to wait for another 7 seasons to hold onto their next victory. However, in the space of 25 years, this club developed to win 10 Ligue 1 titles, 4 among them were consecutive.
Unfortunately, after their glorious time in the 1981–82 season, Saint-Étienne could not manage to win any more titles in Ligue 1.
1. Marseille
The strongest rivals at this time are Marseille. They are dominating Ligue 1 with 10 titles among 23 times joining the Ligue 1 final. They are also a tough team in European competitions. However, their record may be broken by Paris Saint-Germain in the new 2021–22 season because PSG are playing impressively and having 11 points ahead of them after 13 games.
The 2021–22 Ligue 1 is still running and everything surprising can completely happen. Let’s join us to update the latest news!
