beIN SPORTS has broadcast – live and exclusive – some of the most memorable moments from Ligue 1 history, including an unprecedented rise to dominance that has seen PSG win 10 league titles since 2013; the passing through of superstar names such as Neymar Jr, Lionel Messi, Mario Balotelli, and Bernardo Silva; and the return to prominence of AS Monaco, who won Ligue 2 in 2013, finished Ligue 1 runners-up a year later, and were crowned champions in 2017.
