It's finally here! ESPN's Battle of the Leagues, presented by EA Sports FIFA 22, began with eight teams, all-star selections representing some of the best leagues in the world, and we're down to the final two. The French Ligue 1, defending champions from 2020 and wonderfully coached by Julien Laurens, take on Mark Ogden and the English Premier League.
Not only are these the homes of two of the greatest players ever -- with Lionel Messi joining Paris Saint-Germain and Cristiano Ronaldo returning to Manchester United -- but these two have unfinished business as Ligue 1 eliminated the Premier League in the semifinals of last season's competition.
