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.
Honestly I can't imagine it, even if PSG play in the EPL maybe their fate will not be different from the fate of newcastle which is also a rich team but it is difficult to become a title contender in the EPL🤣.
After being taken over by Qatar Sport Investment in 2011, Since then, PSG has been transformed into a strong and dominating team in the domestic league, the transfer of club ownership and also massive spending by PSG has changed the face of ligue 1 which was previously competitive to become a peasant league like today, previously PSG was like any other team and even before 2011 they were not the favourite team to be championship, because at that time monaco, marseille, nantes and saint Etienne were the most successful team in ligue 1.
