Ligue 1 - Matchday 1 overview

The opening day of the 2017/2018 Ligue 1 season is finally underway! Technially, the Ligue 1 season already started, with the French Supercup being contested between PSG and Monaco last month, but Friday marks the commencement of the regular 38-game season. Les Parisiens have been making waves this summer, and not just because they successfully clinched the first piece of silverware this season.

So, why exactly are Unai Emery's side making so much buzz? How about 222,000,000 reasons why. That's right: €222 MILLION. That's how much PSG had to cough up to sign Brazilian ace Neymar from Barcelona earlier this week. To put that in perspective, that's double the fee Manchester United paid to re-sign Paul Pogba from Juventus last summer, which then was the world-record fee.

In fact, that's more than the cost of Paul Pogba (105M) PLUS Gareth Bale (100M) COMBINED. Those were the most expensive and second most expensive signings in history before Neymar's acquisition. It goes without saying that Les Parisiens will be hoping to have their new no. 10 signing feature for the club against Amiens on Saturday.

Splashing the cash - PSG will be hoping that Neymar will help take them to the next level in the Champions League after coming up short season after season. Neymar played a vital role in Barcelona knocking Les Parisiens out during the Blaugrana's impressive 6-1 comeback last season

Meanwhile, Nice, who finished in an impressive third spot and will take on Napoli in a Champions League play-off, are in action against Saint-Etienne, also on Saturday.
