OneFootball names its favorites.
Ligue 1 came to an end this Saturday, May 17 (at least for the league part!). The 2024-2025 season delighted us once again and made us want to shine a light on 15 players who made us dream, for all sorts of reasons.
Here is the fourth part of our top 15 favorites.
Estéban Lepaul in Ligue 1 this season? An unexpected masterclass! Thrust into the front line of Angers' attack, he quickly showed he belonged at this level. With his sharp runs, fighting spirit, and poacher's instinct, he made the most of the trust the coach placed in him. The result: important goals, points snatched at the last minute, and a real rise in form as the matches went on. Not a star yet, but clearly one of the faces of this 2024-25 SCO squad.

Rayan Cherki was on fire this season! In 2024-25, the Lyon player pulled out all the stops. Placed at the heart of the project, he let his silky technique and otherworldly inspiration shine. This time, he didn't just sparkle in flashes: he strung together complete performances, precise moves, and a few brilliant assists. The cherry on top: he was named the best dribbler in Ligue 1, ahead of Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué. A season in which he proved he could be a real leader on the pitch.
Zuriko Davitashvili was the green dynamite of the season. With ASSE back in Ligue 1, the Georgian wasted no time making a name for himself. Explosive, inspired, always on the move, he gave more than one fullback a tough time this year. And to top it all off, he scored some gems that made Geoffroy-Guichard erupt. Already under the spotlight, he perfectly lived up to the expectations placed on him, with that touch of elegance that's all his own.

Canada coach Jesse Marsch condemns U.S. treatment, ‘lack of respect' for Ukraine
Canada men's national team coach Jesse Marsch offered his support for Ukraine and the Ukrainian national team on Friday while also taking aim once again at United States President Donald Trump. 'As an American, the treatment that we have given the President of the Ukraine and the lack of respect really bothers me. Without having to know what it's like to go through something like what these players, this coach and this federation has been through, I am just really excited to be able to show our support,' Marsch said in his opening remarks at a Friday morning event with the Canada Ukraine Foundation. Advertisement Marsch is likely referencing a tense and fiery exchange between Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Feb. 28 that made global headlines. Marsch has previously taken aim at Trump, saying in February that Trump should 'lay off the ridiculous rhetoric about Canada being the 51st state; as an American, I'm ashamed of the arrogance and disregard we've shown one of our historically oldest, strongest and most loyal allies.' Due to the Russian invasion, the Ukrainian national team is required to play its matches in neutral venues. 'If you think about the challenges that the players from Ukraine have been through, they haven't played a home match in several years, they've had to play World Cup qualifiers on foreign soil, they've had players playing professionally and internationally with the concern of the safety of their country and their family and their friends,' Marsch said. 'In general, the ability for us to have empathy and sympathy for everything that their team, their nation, their team, their players have gone through is really important at a time like this.' Ukraine's upcoming home matches in UEFA Group D of 2026 World Cup qualification do not yet have a location. 'As the Canadian national team coach, to show how much we are behind them, we are with them, that we want to do everything we can,' Marsch said, noting that one of the beauties of international football is that it 'can take on so much more than what the sport is.' Ukraine is in Toronto to play Canada in the Canadian Shield friendly tournament on Saturday. Ukraine will play its second match of the Canadian Shield friendly tournament on Tuesday against New Zealand, while Canada plays Ivory Coast also on Tuesday. 'It's really a pleasure and an honour to show that friendship and respect are at the core of everything we try to do in this sport,' Marsch said.

Tottenham Hotspur sacks manager Ange Postecoglou, 16 days after famous Europa League victory
Tottenham Hotspur has sacked manager Ange Postecoglou just over two weeks since he guided the club to the Europa League title. 'Following a review of performances and after significant reflection, the Club can announce that Ange Postecoglou has been relieved of his duties,' Tottenham said in statement on social media Friday. Postecoglou led the North London club to its first piece of silverware in 17 years – and first European trophy in 41 years – with victory against Manchester United in the Europa League final just 16 days ago. However, Tottenham also endured its worst-ever season in the Premier League, finishing 17th in the table on 38 points, just one spot above the relegation zone. It means that the Australian has spent a mixed two years at the club after joining from Scottish side Celtic, ending the long wait for a trophy but also overseeing a dismal 22 losses in the league this past season. 'We are extremely grateful to Ange for his commitment and contribution during his two years at the Club,' Tottenham said in a separate social media post. 'Ange will always be remembered as only the third manager in our history to deliver a European trophy.' Frequently derided by opposition fans for the lack of trophies in the team's recent history, the scrappy 1-0 victory against Man United in the northern Spanish city of Bilbao finally gave Spurs reason to celebrate. It also made good on Postecoglou's promise earlier in the season that he 'always wins things' in his second year at a club. The 59-year-old managed club teams in Australia – as well as the country's men's national team – Greece and Japan before joining Celtic in 2021, winning five trophies with the Scottish giant. Spurs finished fifth in the Premier League during Postecoglou's first season in charge, which followed the departure of record goalscorer Harry Kane. 'When I reflect on my time as Manager of Tottenham Hotspur, my overriding emotion is one of pride,' Postecoglou said in a statement released by his management company. 'The opportunity to lead one of England's historic football clubs and bring back the glory it deserves will live with me for a lifetime. Sharing that experience with all those who truly love this club and seeing the impact it had on them is something I will never forget. 'That night in Bilbao was the culmination of two years of hard work, dedication and unwavering belief in a dream. There were many challenges to overcome and plenty of noise that comes with trying to accomplish what many said was not possible. 'We have also laid foundations that mean this club should not have to wait 17 more years for their next success. I have enormous faith in this group of players and know there is much more potential and growth in them.'
