The curtain of the new season of Ligue 1 has been opened, and the focus is undoubtedly Paris Saint-Germain. They have just won the European Super Cup championship and the five champions including the Champions League, the goal of the new season is to directly target the five consecutive league championships! Although the top player Mbappe went to Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain's dominance has become increasingly stable, and they are expected to continue to make history in the new season.

coach Enrique is indeed capable. Under his command last season, Paris not only defended the Ligue 1 title, but also won the Champions League. After Mbappe left, Dembele broke out completely and became the team's new thigh. With attackers like K77 and Douai, their firepower did not decrease at all. More importantly, the midfield core composed of Portuguese internationals, such as Vitinia and Neves, cooperates with tacit understanding to make the team's offense and defense transition smooth.

Of course, Paris also knows that we can't just spend our money. This summer, they focused on strengthening the defense and signed strong central defender Zabarni and goalkeeper Shevalier, just to make it more stable and even to be unbeaten in the season. No team in Ligue 1 has done this in history.

However, other teams in Ligue 1 are not idle either and want to grab something from Paris, especially the big cake of Champions League qualification.

The French Ligue 1 giants Marseille are the biggest moves, with no signings to experienced Aubameyang and Hoyber, and spent 30 million euros to introduce Feyenoord forward Pakshan, with great ambitions. As Chelsea's "satellite team", Strasbourg spent 100 million euros to introduce 10 new players, focusing on youth storm and wanting to be a disruptor. Monaco played "scratch lottery", loaned Ansu Fati, a genius who was unsuccessful in Barcelona, and signed Pogba who was suspended and returned from the game, betting that they could get back in shape. They won third last season. Can they become a roadblock as they further strengthen the new season?

There is another interesting new highlight: Paris FC, this group of brothers in the same city returned to Ligue 1 after 46 years! Their home court and the Paris Saint-Germain's Park Princes are only 44 meters away in a straight line! The "Paris derby" of the new season is staged at your doorstep, and the smell of gunpowder is enough to think about.

Experts predict (such as Opta) are still optimistic about Paris' championship (the probability is close to 80%), but football is round. Paris is going to be distracted from defending the Champions League, and there is a slight slack in the league. Marseille and Monaco, other opponents who are eyeing each other, will not miss the opportunity. In the new season of Ligue 1, how long can Paris' dominance last? How big a storm can the challengers cause? The good show has begun.
