There is no suspense to the Ligue 1 championship? Paris Saint-Germain s dominance is a foregone conclusion

In the new season of Ligue 1, the suspense of the championship seems to have ended before the start of the game.

Under the invincible halo of defending Champions League champion Paris Saint-Germain, their competitors are performing an unprecedented collective surrender. The huge gap in financial and strength of the challenger has forced the most direct competitors to face the cruel reality.

Marseille: Despite huge investments, their goal is to become stronger, not subvert.

Monaco: They even publicly admit that the goal of the new season is to regain the runner-up.

This is not a lack of ambition, but a cruel recognition of reality: in the current Ligue 1, defeating Paris Saint-Germain is an impossible task. The decline of the pursuers has also been difficult for traditional powerhouses.

Lyon: After thrilling relegation, it is entering a period of austerity.

Lier: Due to financial tension, after losing multiple cores, he was unable to introduce suitable substitutes, and his strength was greatly reduced.

Distant Hope

Against this bleak background, the rise of the newly promoted Paris FC has brought a glimmer of distant hope. With the strong support of the Arnault family and the Red Bull Group, they have the potential to become a real noisy neighbor of Paris Saint-Germain in the future. But now, their goal is just to relegate. The road to the 2025/26 Ligue 1 championship seems to have paved the red carpet for Paris Saint-Germain. The only drama of the season, perhaps, will only come from the battle for the title of French Second.
