The 2024-25 Ligue 1 season is just around the corner, and excitement is already building.
With Kylian Mbappe, the league's star player, moving to Real Madrid after the 2023/24 season, the dynamic of French football is set for a significant shift.
PSG's dominance could be challenged more than ever as traditional powerhouses like Lyon and Marseille gear up to provide thrilling competition. USMNT international Folarin Balogun's AS Monaco, CanMNT striker Jonathan David's Lille and last season's surprise package Brest are also well-positioned to shake things up.
Expect a rejuvenated league filled with intense rivalries and dramatic encounters as teams vie for the top position and seek to capitalize on the shifting landscape.
