That's what makes this league not so interesting because PSG can claim the title much earlier before the season ends so the league competition is not so competitive. It is difficult for any team to break PSG's dominance and that is not at all the competition that football lovers expect. To be a competitor for PSG in the fight for the title, it takes a balanced player strength and that is not possessed by Marseille or Monaco so it is difficult for both of them to compete with PSG.

If you look at the Marseille team when facing their opponents they are able to win the match with a fairly large score but when they want to compete for the title with PSG they actually lose their chances, both Marseille and Monaco are both seven points behind PSG so it is difficult to catch up on the points.
Because PSG's level is much higher than all other teams, and they can have a hard time playing against each other and they lose points, and PSG at this time does not feel such a big competition. Ligue 1 could be more competitive if other teams could find the same funding as PSG, but those who have big money are more interested in investing it in the EPL teams, so the competition there is much higher, and Ligue 1 is a championship of one leader, as it happens in weaker leagues.

PSG dominance in Ligue 1 has created an imbalance in the competition, so that in the end it has actually reduced the selling value and broadcasting rights of the teams in ligue 1so far, with easier competition for a team (PSG) of course we as spectators who want excitement in football competition will not be able to get it in ligue 1, to be honest, I am personally quite curious what supposing PSG played in the EPL, whether they would also be great like in ligue 1 so far later? Grin
I think, it seems that it is not only the lack of competition that makes it difficult for investors to invest in ligue 1 so far, but it seems that there is something that makes it difficult for big investors who want to invest in  other clubs apart from PSG so far and we don't know what it is.

Just imagine and think about PSG if they didn't have a rich owner from Qatar to feed this team. The main reason for PSG to have better results is their owner and the money he pays for his team otherwise we could see a balanced situation in the French League and other teams would be in the same situation as PSG but right now and because of the money they spent so far for PSG, they have got much better players and coaches which helped this team a lot.
For example, I remember in the past Lyon and Marseille were two strong teams that were running for the title but after PSG got rich, these two teams were losing the race and Lyon was even about to get relegated.
