That is why I say Ligue 1 is not so competitive because when it comes to competition only PSG is the only strong team that might have an impact to dominate the league and overall there are almost no other teams that are able to provide balanced resistance in the struggle for the title. The PSG level is above the average team there and even challengers such as Marseille and Monaco are only able to compete for the second to third standings.
The level of popularity of Ligue 1 is not too bad but not many people may have an interest for this league for some reason where there is no more competitive competition. PSG has everything while other teams are unable to make efforts as made by PSG.
Other teams are not ready to spend money to sign more quality players to strengthen their teams so that they can compete with PSG. As far as Ligue 1 is concerned, PSG will continue to dominate the league because, without a better squad, it will be hard for other teams to win the league. A great squad is required to compete with PSG.
The reason why PSG hardly goes far in the Champions League is that they are not facing enough challenges in Ligue 1. This is also why they don't always know how good they truly are, as they are just competing against average teams in the league.
At the start of this season, Monaco was in good form, but their performance has recently dropped. The same applies to Marseille. There is no way they can win the league because their players are average compared to PSG's players..
