One thing is that La Liga, Serie A, Premier League and Bundesliga have done it since the 21st century, but Ligue 1 has not

The status of Ligue 1 in the five major leagues is definitely the most embarrassing. First of all, in terms of the level and influence of the league, Ligue 1 is the weakest visible to the naked eye (among the five major leagues); even compared with the Dutch Eredivisie outside the five major leagues, Ligue 1 does not seem to have any advantage. Take the Champions League for example. Ajax had three brilliant consecutive championships in the 1970s. Is there any in Ligue 1? There are three teams in Eredivisie who have won the Champions League, and only one in Ligue 1. Even since the 21st century, Porto has been able to win the Champions League championship under the cover of La Liga Premier League Serie A and Bundesliga. Can Ligue 1?

So, Paris Saint-Germain reached the Champions League final this time, which made fans who like Ligue 1 so excited. This is indeed the closest time they won the championship, closer than the 19-20 season. Even if Paris Saint-Germain wins the championship, the number of Ligue 1 Champions League champions is far less than that of La Liga Premier League and the Bundesliga, and even far from Portugal and Eredivisie, everything needs a process. At least, after Marseille, Ligue 1 does urgently need another Champions League champion.

However, the comparison at the Champions League level is comprehensive, diverse, and the number of champions is only one aspect. Every season, there is only one Champions League champion. Do other teams have no sense of existence? I still remember that more than ten years ago, there were several times in the Premier League, occupying three of the Champions League semi-finals. At that time, people said that this was the grand era of the Premier League. Even though the Premier League's top three failed to encircle Milan and allowed the latter to win the championship, the Premier League team's share in the Champions League arena is the largest.

Speaking of this, a more sensitive topic is brought up. There is one thing: La Liga, Serie A, Premier League, and Bundesliga have done it since the 21st century, but Ligue 1 has not. This can only be achieved after the Champions League is reorganized and expanded; La Liga and Premier League have done it three times, Serie A and Bundesliga have also done it once.

This thing is that a league will be a champion final.

Let’s give an example to clarify. In the latest one, who is against whom the Champions League finals in the 20th to 21st season? Manchester City vs. Chelsea. Both teams come from the Premier League, so this is the Premier League final. In the 18th to 19th season, Liverpool and Tottenham also did this.

The first time the Premier League did this was in the 2007-08 season, when Chelsea and Manchester United met in the Champions League final. Everyone is also very clear about the example of

La Liga. At the turn of the century, Real Madrid played the same game as Valencia, which was the first time in the history of the Champions League that teams met in the finals.

Serie A example is in the 2002 to 2003 seasons, where Milan and Juventus met in the finals; in the 2012 to 2013 seasons, where the German national derby moved to the finals.

As mentioned earlier, this matter can only occur after the reform and expansion of the Champions League, because in the past, the Champions League only allowed league champions to participate, and only one team per league (except for the defending champion); and after the expansion of the army, there may be three or four teams participating in a league, or even more. This also provides the possibility for teams in the same league to book the finals.

Liu Ligue 1, isn't it embarrassing?

This season, Paris Saint-Germain did reach the finals, and it is very hopeful that it will add another big ear to the Ligue 1 after 32 years. But the specific thing we are talking about today is not enough just to rely on Paris Greater. In fact, in the history of the Champions League, there are only 5 Ligue 1 teams that have reached the finals, Reims, Saint-Etienne, Marseille, Monaco, and Paris Saint-Germain. The glory of Reims and Saint-Etienne was both ancient times, and Marseille was out of date. In the 21st century, perhaps, only Monaco can provide a little bit of expectations. After all, Monaco reached the finals in the unpopular season from 2003 to 2004. But the question is, how many years can it take to take such extreme cases?

In fact, Lyon had a chance back then, but their peak was the semi-finals.

Therefore, Paris Greater cannot comprehensively improve the overall competitiveness of Ligue 1. When will Ligue 1 be able to have at least two or three teams like La Liga Premier League, and have the ability to win the championship, then, it will not be too late to talk about this topic again.
