Ligue 1, a farmers’ championship, aka the Farmers League. An expression often used on social networks by foreign fans to make fun of the French championship, and which annoys more than one in France, logically. This is even the case of PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, as he made it known during the inauguration of the PSG Campus.
When he was questioned about this famous argument explaining that Ligue 1 is an obstacle to the development of players, the manager was very clear. “The clubs are doing well in Europe. French clubs have the level. I spoke about it with Ibra (Zlatan Ibrahimovic, editor’s note). It’s easier to score elsewhere than in France”replied NAK. A big message to the detractors of Ligue 1.
