Analysis of Competitiveness in the French League

The French League, beyond PSG, demonstrates a high level of competition from the second to mid-table teams, allowing for a shuffle in positions. This competitive landscape adds to the entertainment value and showcases the league as the 'League of talents.' The presence of strong academies has led to successful generations of players in teams like Monaco and Lyon. Excluding PSG, there is a mix of teams in the top positions, with 10 different top six finishes in the past four seasons. The league showcases volatility with teams like Saint-Etienne and Nimes dropping out of the top division. While the competitiveness offers a mix of teams that can compete, there is also a struggle for sustainability and a challenge for teams to maintain success against PSG, leading to frequent changes and lack of consistent competition. The decision to reduce the number of teams in the league aims to increase competitiveness by narrowing the gap between the top and bottom teams.
