Who has won the most Ligue 1Titles?
Given just how dominant they have become in the 21st century, it comes as something of a surprise that the team to have won the most Ligue 1 titles is someone other than PSG. Although at the rate they are going, it may not be long before the side from the capital does take the lead.
As things stand though it is “Les Verts” of Saint-Étienne who are out in front, thanks to a period of dominance in the 1960’s and 70’s. It is becoming a long wait for their eleventh title though, with the most recent of those ten previous successes coming back in 1980/81.Most Ligue 1 Wins between 1932 and 2019.
- Saint-Étienne: 10 titles
- Olympique de Marseille : 9 titles
- Paris Saint-Germain: 8 titles
- Monaco: 8 titles
- Nantes: 8 titles

Who are the Top 5 Ligue 1 All-time Scorers?
Ligue 1 has acted as the stage for a number of legendary strikers over the years, including the great Jean-Pierre Papin, and Sweden’s best ever player, Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Both finished as the league’s top scorer on multiple occasions, but neither makes the list of top five all-time scorers :
- 1. Delio Onnis (299 goals): Reims, Monaco, Tours, Toulon.
- 2. Bernard Lacombe (255 goals): Lyon
- 3. Hervé Revelli (216 goals): Lyon, Saint-Étienne, Bordeaux.
- 4. Roger Courtois (210 goals): Sochaux, AS Troyes-Savinienne

It is the Argentinian striker Delio Onnis who is out on his own in front. Particularly prolific during a seven year spell at Monaco, Onnis finished as Ligue 1’s top-scorer on five separate occasions – in addition to winning the title and the French Cup with the side from the principality.
How to Bet on Ligue 1?
There are many factors to weigh up when considering a bet on Ligue 1 including, but not limited to, the current form of the sides, any injury or suspension issues, average goals scored and conceded, and how motivated the teams are likely to be, e.g. is one side in a fight against relegation, with the other having little to play for? Whatever reason you have for placing a bet, one thing you are likely to need is an account with a bookmaker.
