Описание: Welcome to The Athletic FC's YouTube channel, where best-in-class journalism meets video.

Perhaps it's time to ask: Is Ligue 1 becoming the second-best league in Europe right now?

Joe Devine is joined by Jon Mackenzie and French football aficionado Alex Barker to look back on how Ligue 1 has developed over the past 10 years and how they can leverage their strengths to become the second-best league in Europe.

This is The Athletic's Week In Football.
