Four days before broadcasting his very first match, Rennes-Om Friday (8:45 p.m.), at the opening of the season, Ligue 1+ was launched on Monday. On its website and application, the new LFP platform allows you to subscribe to eight of the nine matches of each day (the poster on Saturday 5 p.m. remains on beIN Sports). The price is set at 14.99 euros per month with a one -year commitment, but a launch offer gives the first three months to 9.99!
While waiting to find live matches, the Ligue 1+ platform offers many content. The Ligue 1+ teams highlighted 13 “legendary players” by making a video retracing the course of each concerned during their visit to the French championship. The opportunity to review two 2018 champions at work: Fabien Barthez and Thierry Henry! The 2018 world champion Olivier Giroud, the 2002 Ballon d'Or Karim Benzema or Yoann Goucruff, Eden Hazard and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are to be rediscovered in images.
Before becoming the legendary Arsenal player, “Titi” Henry obviously exploded in French D1 with AS Monaco (from 1994 to 1999). The prodigy from the Ulis was then a supersonic winger. Barthez's story with the French championship is more glorious. Trained in Toulouse, the Ariégeois started very young among the Violets before being spotted and recruited by OM in 1992. “Dreaded on the ground as in the air, he quickly becomes the nightmare of all the attackers of division 1”can we hear in the clip devoted to this legend of tricolor football.
Fabien Barthez to his prime at AS Monaco
Still hair when he arrived at OM, Fabien Barthez then made a few shine that pushed Bernard Tapie to start him at the expense of Pascal Olmeta (the club president decided compos). At 22, he was the keeper of the Phocaeans during the coronation in the Champions League in 1993! It is by opting for AS Monaco, to the relegation of Marseille to D2, that it has become a real reference. Its title of champion of France 97 as captain made it the “divine bald” of the French team during the coronations at the World 98 and the Euro 2000.
And that's not all. After his more or less successful passage to Manchester United, the one who became “Fabulous Fab” made a return to an idol at OM. He further multiplied the stops in L1, but lost two finals, in the 2004 UEFA Cup and in the French Cup in 2006. At 35, Barthez concluded his career with a painful passage of a few months at FC Nantes. He notably rejected attempts by Mamadou Niang and Frank Ribéry during a trip to the Vélodrome. “He stands out as one of the most illustrious French porters in history”concludes Ligue 1+. This is the case to say it.
