Our 5️⃣ key men of the Ligue 1 season A rock-solid top five! The Ligue 1 season officially came to an end on Sunday evening, after one final crazy multiplex matchday. It was a season full of suspense, especially in the title race and the battle for Europe, with several players shining to help their clubs finish as high as possible.

At the UNFP awards, five players were also in the running for the Best Player trophy: Dembélé, Vitinha, Nuno Mendes, Thauvin, and Greenwood. But we’ve decided to reveal our five standout men of the season! Ousmane Dembélé - PSG The Ballon d’Or contender, whose medical situation is causing concern two weeks before the Champions League final , was once again named the best player of the Ligue 1 season.

A trophy that rewards his influence at PSG, champions once again, thanks to both his attacking contribution (10 goals and 7 assists in 22 matches), his defensive work, and his ability to lead by example in every aspect of the game. Quite simply, the leader of the best team in the league. 📸 Alex Grimm - 2026 Getty Images Florian Thauvin - RC Lens While Risser, Sage, Sangaré and others were brilliant, it’s hard to believe Lens, PSG’s runners-up, would have had such a great season without Thauvin.

Back in Ligue 1, the former Marseille man showed that at 33 he has lost none of his attacking quality, something reflected in both his stats (11 goals and 6 assists) and the way he carries the ball. He will once again be the man to watch in the Coupe de France final on Friday, and Lens’ biggest weapon in the Champions League next season. 📸 SAMEER AL-DOUMY - AFP or licensors Estéban Lepaul - Rennes Ligue 1’s top scorer with 21 goals (and 5 assists), Lepaul was the driving force behind a Rennes side that went through an up-and-down season, especially when Habib Beye was still in charge.
