In an interesting Ligue 1 season with the rise of Monaco, it was Laurent Blanc’s PSG side who went on to win their second consecutive league title with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Edinson Cavani leading the way. Monaco - who went on a spending spree, signing the likes of Radamel Falcao, Joao Moutinho, James Rodriguez and more - eventually finished 2nd, 9 points behind PSG. Lille and Saint Etienne finished in the Champions League spots while Sochaux, Valenciennes and Ajaccio were all relegated.

Monaco gave a tough fight but it was their draws as well as the season ending injury to Falcao which eventually saw them fall behind in the title race, drawing 28% of all their games compared to PSG’s 21%.

Lille finished in a respectable 3rd place, 9 points behind Monaco, conceding only 26 goals all season thanks majorly to goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama, losing only 18% of their games this season. Montpellier who took part in the Champions League last year and were Ligue 1 champions just two season ago were poor though, finishing two points above the relegation zone in 15th, only winning 21% of their games this season.

As for the teams whose matches featured the most goals, relegated Ajaccio top the list averaging 2.87 goals which is natural considering they conceded an astonishing 72 goals this season. PSG follow them with 2.82 goals per game, having scored 84 goals this season with Ibrahimovic and Cavani bagging 26 and 16 goals respectively. Given their defensive record this season where at one point, they even earned 11 consecutive clean sheets, Lille are unsurprisingly the team which featured the least goals this season with only 1.89 goals.
