Marseille are 9 time champions of Ligue 1 and have won the Coupe de France a record 10 times. They are also the only French team to win the Champions League.

Yes. Marseille lost a lot of good players like Gignac, Ayew, Payet, and Imbula from last year's squad because they missed the Champions League and cut their budget big time as a result.

Here's an article just posted saying that if anyone can challenge PSG in Ligue 1 it's Monaco and Lyon, but even that's doubtful. Yes it's Bleacher Report, but it's not terrible.

Tied to Paris Saint-Germain until 2017 after signing a new one-year extension on Friday, Thiago Motta once again highlighted his influence on Paris' play against Monaco by completing 141 passes - the highest total in Ligue 1 over the past ten years.

Don't know if you are aware but the PSG app is very well put together and easy to consume.


By comparison the Everton app makes zero sense to me and is the equivalent of a slideshow website.

PSG has a stellar midfield.

Bayern, Barca and Real have as much star-studded talent but PSG's midfield functions so well as a unit with great balance and often plays better than anyone. We'll see how Di Maria fits in bigger matches.


Juve's took a step back in losing Vidal and Pirlo (though they'll be good when Marchsio and Khedira are back).

AS Roma has a great midfield (though not as deep as the $ clubs) when Strootman is back with him, Naingollan, Pjanic and De Rossi.

Atletico Madrid is very good as well.

The top EPL teams have some great individual "midfielders" but not sure I would rank any of their midfields as a functioning unit quite as high until I see them consistently perform in European matches.

Dortmund's is better.

Mkhitaryan, Kagawa, Januzaj, Gundogan, Weigl, Bender.

Ehh...

That's a very good midfield. But...

Verratti, Lucas, Motta, Di Maria, and Matuidi is a bit better.

I disagree. I think Roma's midfield is better, not to even mention PSG.


Bender and Gundogan are certainly good but I wouldn't think of trading them for any of Naingollan, De Rossi or Strootman. (or Pjanic for any 2 of Dortmund's other mids).



I'm mainly thinking of how the midfield controls the game (whether through possession or defensive shape or pressing).

Dortmund's attacking midfielders Mkhitaryan, Kagawa, Januzaj again are good but, in my opinion, a step down from an even larger number of clubs since you then also have all the EPL clubs that collect these type attacking mids for fun and try to fit them together.
