Mauricio Pochettino has made a bold comparison between Ligue 1 and the Premier League, after insisting he feels the French top flight is the more physical.
For years Ligue 1 has come under criticism for its perceived soft nature and lack of quality across the division.
Of the last ten seasons Paris Saint-Germain have won the league title seven times, often by a vast margin.
Players who have historically made big money moves to France, such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Angel Di Maria and Neymar were each widely accused of taking the easy option for a stress-free payday at the expense of real progression in their respective careers.
