Lille Seeks to Reclaim Past Glory Against Rennes as PSG Reigns Supreme in French Football
Lille takes on Rennes today in a highly anticipated Ligue 1 clash. Although Paris Saint-Germain remains the central attraction in France’s top league, boasting superstars like Lionel Messi and Neymar, Lille stunned the football world by clinching the title in the 2020/21 season, breaking PSG’s dominance. However, PSG quickly reclaimed the top spot in 2022, showcasing their strength in French football.
Historically, Saint-Etienne holds the record with 10 league titles, though their last win was in 1981. Marseille follows with nine championships, while Monaco, uniquely representing a cross-border competition, has claimed the title eight times.
