Historians looking back at this season’s Ligue 1 will get a very curious picture of it from the stats. PSG won it pretty comfortably in the end, but because their focus was so much on their European games, a lot of league games actually saw heavy rotation away from the established first eleven. You end up with curiosities like this – despite winning the league and scoring by far the most goals (74), PSG had just one player in the top 10 for goals. Bradley Barcola was the Parisians top scorer in the league with just 11, and he’s not even in the strongest XI. PSG rotation keeps them fresh in Champions League In fact, Barcola and Ousmane Dembele were the only players to get into double figures in the league this season. Players like Kvicha Kvaratskhelia and Desire Doue only had to start 18 and 16 league games respectively. Joao Neves and Nuno Mendes had 13 each. Senny Mayulu ended the league season with more starts than Neves or Fabian Ruiz. Luis Enrique has a unique advantage over his rivals, and knows how to take advantage of it. There is no stat padding here – in fact there’s the opposite.
