Cock-a-doodle-doo.
Lyon 4-2 Rennes, Nantes 3-0 OM, PSG 2-2 Lorient, PFC 4-0 Brest: this weekend in Ligue 1, just like since the start of the season, we saw goals. Lots of goals!
An enjoyable trend that is confirmed by this stat, which does us good, we fans of French football that is so often criticized abroad.
Since the start of the 2025/26 season, Ligue 1 is quite simply the top-five European league with the highest average number of goals scored per match, behind the Bundesliga, the leader in this area.
Bundesliga: 3.22 goals scored on average per match.
Ligue 1: 2.84 goals scored on average per match.
Premier League: 2.75 goals scored on average per match.
La Liga: 2.71 goals scored on average per match.
Serie A: 2.40 goals scored on average per match.
Yes, we’re putting the Premier League, Serie A and La Liga to shame.
