The LFP (national football league) set the scene. This Friday, she unveiled the calendar for the 2021-2022 season of the highly anticipated Ligue 1. As we announced this Thursday, PSG will travel to Troyes for the launch of the buyout operation for the club of the capital city. This short trip, facing a team that returns to the elite after three years in Ligue 2, will bring back good memories to the Parisians, who won at the Stade de l’Aube (2-0) in 2018 but especially 9-0 in 2016.
Lille will begin the defense of their title in Lorraine in Metz. While Marseille will go to Montpellier and Lyon will receive Brest. For the rest of the matches on the program for this general kick-off, we find Bordeaux against the second promoted Clermont, Monaco against the Nantes barrage player happy last season or Nice – Reims, Rennes – Lens, Saint-Etienne – Lorient and Strasbourg – Angers.
OM – PSG on October 24
A quiet appetizer for the leaders who will have to let the first five days pass before fighting. Thus, it is a certain PSG – Lyon, scheduled for September 19 on behalf of the 6th day which will launch the high mountain events. By offering one shock per month, the LFP avoids the risk of traffic jams. In October, the OM – PSG classico (on 24) will precede the Olympico OM – OL on 21 November. PSG will receive Monaco on December 12 before going to Lyon in early January (the 9th). The Classico return match will be played on April 17, seven days before the end of the championship. And the last shock is scheduled for the 35th day on May 1 with the return of Olympico. All these posters will be broadcast on Amazon as we revealed on Tuesday.
