The 2025/26 season of football in France has come to an end and it was a tough one for many teams to navigate as they looked towards their next season. In this article, we will provide a comprehensive overview of the top teams in the league and highlight some key trends that have emerged over the past few months.
Firstly, let's take a look at the top four teams in the league. These teams were highly competitive throughout the season and they all had strong performances that helped them secure their places in the top-four. The first team was FC Nantes, who finished second-last with 18 points after winning only 17 out of their 44 games played. They also scored just 1 goal per game while conceding 19 goals per match. On the other hand, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) won their second consecutive title and finished first with 25 points. They scored more than 2 goals per game while conceding just 1 goal per match. Their defensive record was also excellent with a clean sheet rate of over 70%.
Next up, we have Marseille, who started the season poorly but quickly recovered to finish third with 17 points. They scored more than 1 goal per game while conceding 1 goal per match. However, they did not win any important matches and struggled against weaker opponents. It is worth noting that despite these losses, Marseille still managed to qualify for the Europa League, which was their first time ever participating in the competition.
Moving on to the bottom of the table, we have Lyon, who finished last with just 14 points after losing 17 of their 44 games played. They conceded 20 goals per game while scoring just 1 goal per match. Despite their poor performance, Lyon still managed to secure a spot in the Champions League, where they faced Manchester United in the quarter-finals. Unfortunately, they lost 1-0 in the penalty shootout.
In terms of injury concerns, there were several players who missed significant amounts of time due to injuries during the season. This included Thierry Henry, who suffered a knee ligament injury during the first half of the season. He returned to the field late in the season and contributed to PSG's victory over Bayern Munich in the final of the Champions League.
Overall, the 2025/26 season was a challenging one for many teams in French football. While there were some promising performances from some teams, such as Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille, others struggled to find success. However, there were also some standout performances from certain teams, such as Lyon and Nantes, which showed how much talent exists within the league. Ultimately, it remains to be seen whether the league will continue to be successful in the future.
