The upcoming Ligue 1 season promises to be truly special for football fans in the French capital.
Details: For the first time since 1979, the elite of French football will witness a Paris derby.
In the 33rd round of Ligue 2, Paris FC played to a 1-1 draw against Martigues today, a result that secured their promotion to Ligue 1. Their closest rivals, Metz, also dropped points in a 3-3 draw with Rodez.
It’s worth noting that Paris FC has been owned by billionaire Bernard Arnault since last year, with Red Bull holding a stake in the club as well.
Lorient had already booked their ticket to Ligue 1 earlier.
Reminder: Today it was revealed that PSG star Ousmane Dembélé is unlikely to play in the return leg of the Champions League semi-final against Arsenal.
