It's time to talk about our favorites!
Ligue 1 has come to an end this Saturday, May 17 (at least the championship part!). The 2024-2025 season has once again delighted us and made us want to highlight 15 players who have made us dream, for whatever reasons.

A little emotion and subjectivity, sometimes, doesn't hurt! Here are our three favorites (part 3).
Maghnes Akliouche (Monaco)
His fourth season in Ligue 1 is a new milestone. At 23 years old, the Monégasque midfielder is now a seasoned player whose technical finesse and elegance are appreciated. His regular performances and boldness on the ball make him a spectacular player that we can't wait to follow in the championship on weekends, and even on weekdays in European cups. Let's hope it lasts!
Dilane Bakwa (Strasbourg)
A revelation in the middle of a team that made a sensation. Dilane Bakwa surprised everyone this season. The Strasbourg left winger had a contrasting start to the season, frequently changing positions from the wing to midfield. Once integrated into Liam Rosenior's system, the former Bordeaux player became irresistible, particularly in big games. He will remain one of the key figures of this beautiful Strasbourg team that ignited the year 2025.
Malick Fofana (OL)
Another thrilling player from our beloved league of talents. At 20 years old, the Belgian gem was a bright spot in Lyon's sometimes cloudy sky. His technique, vision of the game, and dribbling stunned all observers of the championship. He finishes the season with a record of 5 goals and 4 decisive passes, and above all, an army of European admirers. Will we see him again on French pitches at the start of the season? We're keeping our fingers crossed!

PSG, Tottenham Receive Good News on Everton Target as Atletico Madrid Offer Rejected
With just days remaining in the summer transfer window, PSG face questions about whether they will make one or two moves before it closes. One area the Parisians could strengthen is the depth of their attack. Fichajes recently reported that Takefusa Kubo is on PSG's radar, though any deal would likely hinge on Kang-in Lee's potential departure amid ongoing transfer rumors. Last season, Kubo scored eight goals and added six assists, establishing himself as one of La Liga's most productive wingers. Everton have also reportedly contacted Real Sociedad about a possible move for the Japanese star, according to Fabrizio Romano. Real Sociedad reject offer for PSG, Tottenham targetFichajes reports that Atlético de Madrid are eager to bring Kubo from Real Sociedad. The Madrid club has reportedly offered €35 million plus goalkeeper Carlos Marín, a standout in Atlético's reserve team. However, Real Sociedad's response was firm: they won't negotiate for less than €60 million, close to Kubo's release clause. The report mention that from the player's point of view, the situation is complicated. Kubo feels at home at Real Sociedad, where he plays a key role and enjoys strong support from the fans. On top of that, the Basque club will compete in European competitions, giving him an international stage to keep developing. Recently, Fichajes reported that Kubo's future is making headlines in the summer transfer window. The Japanese winger has requested to leave Real Sociedad, sparking interest from three major European clubs: Atlético de Madrid, Tottenham, and PSG.

Rangers face Champions League exit after early collapse against Club Brugge
Rangers' horrendous start to their Champions League play-off against Club Brugge left them with a bruising 3-1 defeat at Ibrox and staring at the exit door. In a nightmare beginning to the first leg, Gers defender Nasser Djiga inexplicably allowed a long ball past him in the third minute and grateful visiting striker Romeo Vermant coolly lofted the ball over stranded goalkeeper Jack Butland. And further strikes from Jorne Spileers and Brandon Mechele had the visitors 3-0 up after just 20 minutes. Brazilian striker Danilo pulled a goal back four minutes after the break and the home side rallied, but the Belgian outfit stood firm. The return game against Nicky Hayen's men in Belgium next Wednesday will require a huge turnaround, albeit the Govan club are assured Europa League group phase football at least. Wins over Panathinaikos and Viktoria Plzen in previous qualifiers revealed flaws in Russell Martin's new-look Gers side and raised concerns in the stands, as did back-to-back draws to start the Premiership campaign. And once again the former Southampton boss incurred the ire of the Light Blue legions. Martin made 10 changes for Saturday's 4-2 Premier Sports Cup victory over Alloa and seven for the visit of the Belgian outfit. The news that elicited the most surprise was that 19-year-old England youth international Jayden Meghoma, who signed on loan from Brentford on Sunday, went straight in at left-back with Max Aarons preferred to experienced club captain James Tavernier at right-back. Jack Butland, John Souttar, Mohamed Diomande, Oliver Antman, Djeidi Gassama, and Nicolas Raskin all returned. Greece international Christos Tzolis, who scored for Greece against Scotland at Hampden Park in March and who has been linked with a move to Crystal Palace, started for the visitors, while former Liverpool keeper Simon Mignolet was in goal. All eyes were on Meghoma, who spent last season on loan at Preston, and he started positively. But a horror mistake by Djiga allowed Tzolis' pass to give Vermant an easy finish which stunned everyone inside the ground. The Gers fans were coming to terms with the needless loss of a goal when Tzolis' corner from the right was knocked past Butland by the unmarked Spileers from 12 yards. The boos that rang round the ground intensified when Mechele, making his 500th appearance for Brugge, stepped all too easily in front of Danilo just outside the Rangers box and gave Butland no chance with an arrowed right-footed drive. A three-goal deficit at the break left the Gers support in a state of shock but they got a lifeline when Danilo slid in to convert an enticing cross from Meghoma. Gassama's angled-drive skipped inches past the far post before Mohamed Diomande and Danilo were replaced by Hamza Igamane and Thelo Aasgaard. Gassama had the ball in the Brugge net in the 78th minute but French referee Francois Letexier was asked by VAR to check his pitchside monitor and quickly decided that Mignolet had the ball in his hand before it was bundled into the net. The Light Blues' second-half display was heartening but it was a chastening first 20 minutes which keeps the spotlight on Martin.
