Timothy Weah: Ligue 1 is the Best League in the World

Marseille and United States national team player Timothy Weah praised the level of the French championship, Ligue 1, calling it one of the best in the world. According to him, it is the world's top club championship.

"Ligue 1 is the best league in the world. The tournament gathers the most talent.

Watching its games is exciting. This is real football.

The competition for the championship is of the highest level — seeing this is very enjoyable," said Weah in an interview with Get French Football News. "I am very happy to be here.

I love football and enjoy playing every week. When I stepped onto the field against Lens, the energy from the fans was amazing.

It's the same for games like the one against Nice, even though they are not going through their best period right now. France is the place where stars emerge.

To become a star, you must go through this league. Look at Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele, or Paul Pogba — Pogba came from Le Havre and became one of the best midfielders in history." Timothy Weah is a product of the PSG academy.

He has also played for Celtic, Lille, and Juventus. His father, George Weah, was a player for the Liberia national team and won the Ballon d'Or in 1995.
