Discover the best players of the season in Ligue 1, gathered in a team for the 2025-2026 season.
Player: Vitinha (PSG)
If Ousmane Dembéle was named the best player at the UNFP Trophies, Vitinha has been a key player throughout the year, consistently managing Paris Saint-Germain’s game to perfection.
Goalkeeper: Hervé Koffi (Angers)
Despite being surpassed by Robin Risser, the new number 3 for the French team at the UNFP Trophies, it is the Lens goalkeeper who has played a vital role in Angers’ maintenance in Ligue 1.
Right back: Fodé Doucouré (Le Havre)
Due to a lack of specialists in this position, with Achraf Hakimi and Warren Zaïre-Emery alternating at PSG, he has been the most consistent performer with solid displays.
Center-back: Malang Sarr (Lens)
The former Nice player, a key player for Pierre Sage, has been the unshakeable rock of the Lens defense this season.
Center-back: Lucas Beraldo (PSG)
Marquinhos’ absences have provided his compatriot with plenty of playing time in Ligue 1, allowing him to become a pillar of PSG’s title almost unexpectedly.
Left back: Nuno Mendes (PSG)
Almost spared by injuries, the Portuguese player has no equal in France or Europe. Even Matthieu Udol (Lens) or the Strasbourg players Diego Moreira and Valentin Barco must bow to him.
Right midfield: Florian Thauvin (Lens)
It’s a great and beautiful story, which has even allowed the 2018 World Cup winner to return to the French national team.
Center midfield: Vitinha (PSG)
As mentioned earlier.
Left midfield: Corentin Tolisso (OL)
Let’s be clear, he’s not really a left midfielder but more of a true central midfield partner for Vitinha. The Lyon captain has been a key player just like in his best days.
Right winger: Mason Greenwood (OM)
In the chaos at Marseille, the English player has been the standout performer. With sixteen goals and seven assists, he is also the only Ligue 1 player to be on both individual podiums.
Striker: Wesley Saïd (Lens)
Yes, Esteban Lepaul (Rennes) is just behind as the top scorer. But we cannot overlook the huge contribution of a transformed Wesley Saïd (twelve goals) in Lens’ second place finish.
Left winger: Pablo Pagis (Lorient)
Mickaël’s son has once again honored the family name. A season of total confirmation for him.
