No doubt frustrated by the lack of spectacle in Ligue 1, the LFP is trying something new. This Thursday, the Professional Football League announced the launch of a new system to “highlight the leader of the scorers ranking”. This idea takes the form of a distinctive jersey on which a special badge called “S1” (“S” for Scorer and “1” for the top scorer ranking) will be visible.
“Throughout the season, this prestigious badge will accompany the leader of the Ligue 1 scorers ranking,” specifies the LFP in a press release. As the days go by and the ranking evolves, the badge will therefore be likely to change owner until the final consecration at the end of the 34th day of Ligue 1 Uber Eats, scheduled for Saturday May 18, 2024, and the presentation of the trophy for the best S1 scorer of the season. Starting this weekend, the race for Top Scorer is on!”
As indicated by the League, the new badge will accompany the “Top Scorer” on each day of the championship. At the top of the scorers’ ranking with 13 goals, far ahead of Montpellier’s Akor Adams (7 goals), Kylian Mbappé will honor the distinction this Friday (9 p.m.), during the clash of the 13th day between PSG and AS Monaco at the Parc of Princes. Former emblematic player of the Parisian club and Ligue 1, the Portuguese Pedro Miguel Pauleta will give this jersey to the captain of the France team, who risks wearing the badge for a long time.
