MATCH!的4 October 2022目录

LE CLASSIQUE PSG v MARSEILLE The two most successful Ligue 1 teams are also the only French teams to have won major European trophies! Marseille supporters still brag about being the only French side to win the Champions League, but they’ve been second best behind PSG in the league for quite some time. In fact, they’ve only beaten PSG once in their last 25 head-to-heads in all comps! I’M SUPPORTING… DER KLASSIKER B. DORTMUND v BAYERN MUNICH People always talk about Bundesliga being a two-way battle between Bayern and Dortmund, but let’s be honest – it’s been super one-sided for the last decade!

NEW VOTING RULES! France Football announced back in March that the rules for voting have changed, with the award based on performances over a single season (2021-22) rather than a calendar year. Also, winning trophies is now less important, so the prize should reflect the best footballers from each season, rather than simply who lifts the most silverware! OTHER AWARD winners! The Yashin Trophy for the best keeper is clearly a two-way battle between Real Madrid’s Thibaut Courtois and AC’s Mike Maignan – they’re the only two GKs who made the Ballon d’Or shortlist! The Kopa Trophy winner for the best young player is harder to call, with Jude Bellingham the current fave ahead of Eduardo Camavinga, Gavi, Florian Wirtz and Bukayo Saka! BALLON D’OR WINNER!
