Revealed- the new stars of Ligue Un
With Lyon finally knocked off their lofty perch by Laurent Blanc's fantastically well drilled Bordeaux side last season, there is a feeling that this season's Ligue Un title race might just be the most open in years.
With Claude Puel's side looking to regain the crown they had held in a vice-like grip for seven seasons in a row, Blanc's men will have their work cut out to retain their title, and with traditional powerhouses Marseille & Paris Saint-Germain looking to continue the excellent progress made last season under new coaches Didier Deschamps & Antoine Kombouaré respectively, not to mention the impressive underdogs of Lille & Toulouse lurking, French football has lot going for it at the moment.
