Must See Ligue 1 Games this season

Ligue 1 has some enthralling match-ups throughout the whole season with a lot featuring the conglomerate-sized PSG who have a wealth of superstars at the club. Check out their games and beyond and ensure they’re in your diary.

Paris Saint-Germain vs. Olympique Marseille

Affectionately known as the Le Classique in France, games against PSG and Marseille have often meant a lot more than just the 90-minute contest on the field. Despite the Paris’ club dominance in recent years, Marseille has become competitive in the league again and has shown the ability to match their opposition.

Paris Saint-Germain vs. Olympique Lyonnais

Before PSG took the mantle as the top team in France there was Lyon. Between 2001 and 2008, Lyon won seven consecutive league titles with the likes of (the original) Fred, Sylvain Wiltord, and a young Karim Benzema hitting goal after goal for the club. PSG eventually took over as the dominant force. Lyon will now be itching for a win having not had much success in recent years.
