Ligue 1 Team Of The Season 2024/2025

The end of the season is always a time for reflection.

One year ago, Total Football Analysis published our first-ever Ligue 1 Team of the Season for the 2023/2024 campaign.

Now, we’re back again with an all-star XI from the French top flight for the 2024/2025 campaign, which saw Luis Enrique’s Paris Saint-Germain reign supreme as champions again.

This season also saw Olympique de Marseille return to the UEFA Champions League qualification spots, alongside AS Monaco, who have secured their place in Europe’s premier competition for the second consecutive year through their league position.

OGC Nice will participate in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers.

At the same time, Lille OSC and Olympique Lyonnais make the UEFA Europa League group stage, with RC Strasbourg taking the final spot in European competition from the French top flight, with Liam Rosenior’s side set to participate in the UEFA Conference League next term.

At the other end of the table, Montpellier, AS Saint-Étienne, and Stade Reims will be relegated to Ligue 2 for the 2025/2026 season.

Regardless of their respective teams’ final league position, however, there were plenty of standout performers across the board, up and down the table, in Ligue 1 this season.

Our data-led Ligue 1 Team of the Year, limited to one player per team, aims to cut through some of the broader noise as we strive to compile a fair, representative XI of Ligue 1 stars for the recently completed campaign.

Goalkeeper: Djordje Petrović At RC Strasbourg Alsace 25 Years Old

Just as we did with our 2023/2024 Ligue 1 Team of the Season last year, we’ve opted for the 4-3-3 formation for this team, as that was the shape primarily used by league winners and newly crowned European champions Paris Saint-Germain throughout their successful campaign.

Starting with the goalkeeper, we’ve chosen Djordje Petrović as our sides last line of defence.

Petrović was one of the key contributors to Strasbourg’s outstanding campaign, which saw the Alsace side qualify for European football next season, earning him his place in our XI.

The 25-year-old, who spent the season on loan at Strasbourg from Premier League giants Chelsea, ended the campaign having prevented more goals (11) than any other goalkeeper in France’s top-flight, based on xG faced and having kept the joint-third most clean sheets (10).
