Although Marseille, Saint-Etienne, Lyon, and Monaco have all had bouts of success in the past, it’s PSG that has recently dominated the Ligue 1 championnat, winning the championship of Ligue 1, L’Hexagoal, four years in a row. Fueled by Qatari investments and the signings of world-class players like Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Edinson Cavani, the club trounced the competition last year, finishing over 30 points ahead of runner-up Monaco.The current Ligue 1 championnat, however, suggests that this season may be different. PSG suffered a major blow with the transfer of captain Zlatan Ibrahimovic and loss of manager Laurent Blanc, and now finds itself tied with Monaco for second while Nice sits at the top of the championnat. Perhaps the competitiveness of Ligue 1 has been restored, but it’s more likely that PSG just needs time to adjust to the loss of their leading goal-scorer.
