Champions League: Ligue 1 drags its spleen in Europe

France wants to see its clubs compete on the European scene. Since 1996, France has been waiting for a successor to PSG. PSg is a credible candidate to win the Champions League, but it does not play in the same court as Ligue 1.

Marseille have started the Champions League with seven wins and two draws. Lyon have been in the league for 20 years. Marseille are 16 defeats in their last 17 matches in Champions league. Ligue 1 has lost more games in group stage after two days than in whole of the previous exercise. Lille champion of France was not able to grab a European place the following year. The second day of Europa League and Conference League saw French clubs seriously unscrew.

France is fifth in the UEFA index. Maintaining this position is important for the future. Ligue 1 would get four Champions League tickets for this tournament. The calendar has booked two Franco-Portuguese clashes this week. OM against Sporting and PSG against Benfica are the games.
