The Triple Crown is here, but Ligue 1 still lacks one more important thing

Everyone knows the embarrassing position of Ligue 1 in the five major leagues. It gives people the feeling that Ligue 1 is forced to join in, but in fact, the four major leagues are enough. Whether it is the total score of the Champions League or the allocation of Champions League places, Ligue 1 is lower than that of La Liga Premier League Serie A and Bundesliga. Even if we compare the following, Ligue 1 is not as good as the Dutch Eredivisie and the Portuguese Super League in some aspects. Even the Scottish Super League can make Ligue 1 ashamed with the Celtics' triple-championship.

So, can you feel how much improvement it has been for Paris Saint-Germain to win the triple crown?

If the triple-champion represents a team that once dominated European football, then La Liga, Premier League, Serie A, Bundesliga, and Dutch Eredivisie Serie A, the Dutch Republic and the Soviet Union have all proved that they can give birth to such a kingly team. Now, Ligue 1 has finally made up for this lesson. Although this is not enough to achieve a qualitative improvement in the status of Ligue 1, at least, Ligue 1 has become much tougher because of the triple crown of Paris Saint-Germain.

As for level upgrade, we have to do it step by step. Ligue 1 has only made zero breakthroughs in the level of the triple crown, but compared with the four major leagues, it is still at the last. There is one thing that is actually more important than the triple crown and can better reflect the strength of a league. Paris Saint-Germain won the triple crown, which is largely just a carnival, and its intersection with Ligue 1 is not very big. Let’s start with the upcoming Club World Cup.

Paris Saint-Germain takes advantage of the triple crown and is in a trend of conquering the Club World Cup. However, it is also very difficult. First of all, Paris Saint-Germain has been fighting for a season and has played so many games, so it is impossible to have no problems with physical strength. Secondly, teams like Real Madrid and Manchester City, after a less successful season, will definitely want to regain their lost ground and make a comeback. The combat power and energy they have brought out are probably beyond the imagination of Paris Saint-Germain.

Moreover, there are 12 European teams in this Club World Cup, so how are these 12 teams allocated? There are two in La Liga, Premier League, Bundesliga and Serie A, while there are only one in Paris Saint-Germain.

By the way, there are two in Portugal Super League. Another Olympic Super League.

Ligue 1, again, I gained embarrassment due to the quota issue. Of course, the quota for the Club World Cup is mobile, and it is different every time. But this time, Ligue 1 was at a disadvantage again.

Then we focus on a sensitive problem. Since there are two participating teams in La Liga, Premier League, Serie A, Bundesliga, Portuguese Super League, then this means that there is a certain probability that the derby of the same league will occur in the Club World Cup final. For example, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid meet in the final, Manchester City and Chelsea meet in the final, and Bayern Dortmund meet in the final, these are all derbys staged in the Champions League final.

Of course, I know that this probability is extremely low, as low as the dust, but since there are two participating teams, it is theoretically possible.

And Ligue 1, there is no theoretical possibility. Because Paris Saint-Germain has no Ligue 1 partners and will form the final CP with itself.

This is what Ligue 1 urgently needs to be accomplished. Compared with the Triple Champions League, this matter represents the progress and improvement of Ligue 1 - moving the Ligue 1 derby to the stage of the Champions League final.

As mentioned earlier, the Triple Crown Championship is just a carnival in Paris Grande, which has something to do with the improvement of Ligue 1, but it does not have much to do with it. Only by cultivating an absolutely competitive team with Paris Saint-Germain and finally meeting in the final can Ligue 1 truly reflect the strength of Ligue 1.

It's a pity that the current Ligue 1 ecosystem is the dominant Paris Saint-Germain. Although teams like Lille and Monaco have also emerged in recent years, their competitiveness in the Champions League is obviously insufficient. From the perspective of the Champions League, the team with the most profound background in Ligue 1 is Marseille, but unfortunately, Marseille no longer has the strength it used to be back then.

When will two Ligue 1 teams confront each other in the Champions League final, then Ligue 1 will truly achieve a qualitative improvement. This is even better for a league than cultivating a triple-champion.
