To be fair, Juninho Pernambuco did play then.

Where has these types of players gone.

Given that late 2000’s would imply 2007 onwards I think this proves exactly what GC said :slightly_smiling_face:

Id say late 07-08 to 12-13 where there were six different champions would probably be more suitable.

But outside of that, 18 of the last 25 titles being won by two teams ensures that it is a certified Farmers Ligue.

For what it’s worth GC also mentioned Lille having to sell key players.

It wasn’t much better back then. Lille won in 2011-12 and got savaged. Bordeaux lost Gourcuff. Montpellier etc.

Plus Lyon had an excellent set of academy players constantly coming through

That’s the period I was talking about, essentially up until the Qataris becoming the majority owners of PSG in 2012.

Any domestic league with a knockout format at the end is garbage.

Congrats to to ligue 1 getting even worse

This is an awful idea.

that’s some “two wrongs make a right”-logic right there.
