When a young Eden Hazard led Lille to Ligue 1 glory - Ligue 1 in 2010/11


In the 2010-11 season, Lille won the French league title, ending a streak of different champions in the previous four years. Led by players like Moussa Sow, Gervinho, and breakout star Eden Hazard, Lille also won the French Cup in a successful season. Marseille, Lyon, and PSG finished in the next three spots, while surprise fifth-place finishers Sochaux and relegation for AS Monaco were notable outcomes. This season marked the last year before PSG's domination of French football, with Marseille and Lyon making significant transfers due to their Champions League participation. Notable transfers included Yoann Gourcuff to Lyon and Andre-Pierre Gignac and Loic Remy to Marseille. Asamoah Gyan moved to Sunderland, while Marouane Chamakh and Laurent Koscielny joined Arsenal. Lille overcame a slow start to the season and eventually secured the title with a crucial victory over Marseille. Manager Rudi Garcia and young star Eden Hazard were key figures in their success. The top goalscorer was Moussa Sow, and Mamadou Sakho was recognized as the young player of the season. The most expensive transfer was Yoann Gourcuff's move to Lyon. The key moment of the season was Lille's 2-2 draw with PSG, where they secured the point needed to clinch the title.
