Without difficulty, they put the French defenses in difficulty. But only one will be recognized and crowned as “Best Ligue 1 dribbler”. This season, the Professional Football League has announced that it wanted to award a new trophy to highlight the style of play of one of the players named. And the body highlighted two Ligue 1 clubs: Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique Lyonnais.
Among the Parisians, the top scorer in Ligue 1, Ousmane Dembélé is one of the designated, as well as the desired revelation. On the Lyon side, only one name stands out: Rayan Cherki, without much surprise.
