The vigorous development of Jinyuan football in the new century has made the flow of stars more frequent, and has also made the "gap between rich and poor" in the football world more obvious.
Bayern Munich and Paris Greater Paris are undoubtedly the best in their respective leagues, the former has set a brilliant 10 consecutive titles; although the road to the title of Greater Paris was once interrupted by Lille, they still have a clear advantage in strength when their eyes are re-shifted to the domestic arena, and now they have regained the Ligue 1 title and won the tenth Ligue 1 title trophy in the history of the team.
Bayern and Paris's monopoly in their respective leagues has led to polar discussions, on the one hand, the emergence of Banba is seen as a good medicine to drive the league forward and increase the popularity of the league;
But on the other hand, some people think that the banba has constrained the healthy competition between clubs, and a large number of talents have concentrated on flowing to a certain club, and the championship competition that should have been suspenseful has suddenly become boring.
There are hidden dangers, but the benefits of Bayern and Paris are also very obvious - the former ended la Liga, the Premier League for six seasons of monopoly on the Champions League, and the success of the latter in recent years has also made the ligue 1 "peasant league" no longer exist.
Many fans are curious: Bayern and Paris are the same big company, who is more difficult?
【European Achievements】
Considering the difference in the competitive style of the Bundesliga and Ligue 1, the overall level is also different. Therefore, if you want to compare the overall strength of Bayern and Paris opponents, the European results are a good reference standard.
Let's start with the Bundesliga.
In the three seasons from 18 to 19 to 20 to 21, in addition to Bayern Munich, a total of eight teams participated in European competitions, namely RB Leipzig, Borussia Dortmund, Wolfsburg, Frankfurt, Bayer Leverkusen, Schalke 04, Borussia Monchengladbach and Hoffenheim.
In terms of overall results, the best performer was RB Leipzig, who reached the semi-finals in the Champions League in the 19-20 season and eventually lost 3-0 to Paris. In addition, he has reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League once (Dortmund in seasons 20-21), the quarter-finals of the Champions League five times (Schalke 04 in seasons 18-19, Dortmund in seasons 18-19, Dortmund in seasons 19-20, RB Leipzig in 20-21, and Borussia Mönchengladbach in seasons 20-21).
Although Hoffenheim and Bayer Leverkusen also qualified for the Group Stage of the Champions League, they did not break through.
In the Europa League, the best performer was Eintracht Frankfurt in the 18th and 19th seasons, who reached the semi-finals of the Europa League that season but were eliminated by Chelsea.
In addition, the remaining teams have one stop-off play-off (Wolfsburg in the 20-21 season), two stop-off group stages (RB Leipzig in the 18-19 season, Mönchengladbach in the 19-20 season), three stops in the 1/16 finals (Bayer Leverkusen in the 18-19 season, Bayer Leverkusen in the 20-21 season, Hoffenheim in the 20-21 season), two stops in the 1/8 finals (Wolfsburg in the 19-20 season, Frankfurt in the 19-20 season), and 1 stop in the 1/ 4 finals (Bayer Leverkusen in seasons 19-20).
Let's look at the First League.
As in the Bundesliga, in the three seasons from 18 to 19 to 20 to 21, in addition to Greater Paris, a total of 8 teams in Ligue 1 participated in European competitions (Monaco, Lyon, Marseille, Rennes, Saint-Etiennes, Lille, Nice, Reims).
In terms of overall results, the best performer was Lyon in the 19-20 season, who reached the semi-finals in the Champions League and eventually lost 3-0 to Bayern Munich.
In addition, the performance of Ligue 1 teams in the Champions League is generally sluggish, except for Lyon in the 18-19 season, which has reached the Champions League quarter-finals, Monaco in the 18-19 season, Lille in the 19-20 season, Marseille in the 20-21 season, and Rennes in the 20-21 season are all eliminated in the group stage.
In the Europa League, the performance of Ligue 1 teams is also sluggish. The best performer was Rennes in the 18th-19th season, but they only reached the quarter-finals of the Europa League, and finally lost to Arsenal 3:4 on aggregate and were eliminated.
In terms of the rest of the teams, except for Lille's group in the 20-21 season (but was eliminated in the first round of the knockout round), the rest of the teams failed to qualify from the group (Marseille in the 18-19 season, Rennes in the 19-20 season, Saint-Etiennes group bottom in the 2nd and 20-20 seasons in the Nice group), and Reims in the 20-21 season was eliminated by the Hungarian team Vidiotton in the third round of the qualifiers.
On the whole, the performance of Ligue 1 teams in European competitions is undoubtedly inferior to that of Bundesliga teams. In 18 Bundesliga seasons (excluding Bayern) in European competitions, Bundesliga teams have successfully qualified from the group stage 13 times, and the group breakout rate has reached 72%, compared with only 30% in Ligue 1.
Even with the name of the "five major leagues", ligue 1 still relies more on the support of the banba team Paris alone, in addition to Lyon's once eye-catching performance, the rest of the teams play more of the role of passers-by, and even most of them are eliminated at the bottom of the group stage.
【Season Investment】
Bayern Munich and Paris Greater Paris, although they are both thriving in their respective leagues, have a big difference in their thinking in terms of investment.
Let's take the three seasons of 18 to 19, 19 to 20, 20 to 21 and the summer window of this season as examples.
Bayern Munich's total transfer expenditure for the 18th and 19th seasons was only 10 million euros (the introduction of Alfonso Davis from Vancouver White wave), accounting for only 1.8% of the total bundesliga season expenditure (the total transfer expenditure of the Bundesliga was 563 million euros in the bundesliga season), and the total transfer investment of the remaining 17 teams was 553 million euros.
Bayern's investment in the transfer market increased in the 19th and 20th seasons, spending a total of 139 million euros, with the introduction of Lucas Hernandez from Atletico Madrid's 80 million euros being the highest single expenditure. The total bundesliga transfer expenditure that season was 952 million euros, with Bayern Munich accounting for 14.6% of it, and the remaining 17 teams with a total transfer investment of 813 million euros.
In the 20th and 21st seasons, Bayern Munich invested a total of 77.25 million euros in the transfer market, and the introduction of Sane from Manchester City for 60 million euros was the highest single transfer. The total bundesliga transfer expenditure for the season was 388 million euros, with Bayern Munich accounting for 19.9% of this, while the remaining 17 teams spent a total of 311 million euros.
In the summer window of this season, Bayern Munich has invested a total of 57.5 million euros in transfers, of which 42.5 million euros were introduced from RB Leipzig to Palmecano. The bundesliga has invested a total of 421 million euros in transfers in the summer window this season, with Bayern Munich accounting for 13.7% of this, and the remaining 17 teams with a total transfer investment of 364 million euros.
Combined with the transfers in the Bundesliga in the past four seasons (excluding the winter window this season), Bayern Munich has an average transfer expenditure of 71 million euros per season, an average of 12.5%, and the average single-season transfer investment of the remaining 17 teams is 510 million euros.
In Ligue 1, Paris spent a total of 227 million euros on transfers in the 18th to 19th centuries, with a single maximum transfer fee of 145 million euros to bring in Mbappe from Monaco. The total transfer cost of Ligue 1 that season totaled 689 million euros, of which Paris accounted for 32.9%, and the total transfer fee of the remaining 19 teams was 462 million euros.
In the 19th and 20th seasons, the total transfer investment of Greater Paris was 95 million euros, and the maximum single transfer fee was 32 million euros to introduce Diallo from Dortmund. The total investment in Ligue 1 that season was 841 million euros, with Paris accounting for 11.3% of this, and the remaining 19 teams transferring a total of 746 million euros.
In the 20th and 21st seasons, the total transfer investment of Paris Was 62 million euros, and the maximum single transfer fee was 50 million euros to bring in Icardi from Inter Milan (previously on loan). Ligue 1 spent a total of 467 million euros on transfers that season, with Paris the Greater accounting for 13.3% and the remaining 19 teams with a total transfer investment of 405 million euros.
In the summer window of this season, the total transfer investment of Greater Paris is 89.5 million euros, while the total investment in Ligue 1 is 395 million euros, the Greater Paris accounts for 22.7%, and the remaining 19 teams have invested a total of 306 million euros.
Based on the transfer situation in Ligue 1 in the past four seasons (excluding the winter window this season), the average transfer expenditure of Paris is 118 million euros per season, accounting for an average of 20.05%, and the average single-season transfer investment of the remaining 19 teams is 480 million euros.
Judging from the transfer investment data alone, Bayern is not as low as the world thinks, and the number of times Paris has spent thousands of dollars in recent years has decreased. But from the overall situation of the league, Ligue 1 teams invest significantly less in the transfer market than Bundesliga teams (Ligue 1 has two more teams than Bundesliga).
But in any case, Greater Paris still invests far more in the transfer market than Bayern Munich. The Bundesliga is more cautious in the transfer market due to policy issues, but in the face of the overall development of the sluggish Ligue 1 still has obvious advantages.
The Champions League final in seasons 19-20 is the best comparison between the two teams, with the transfer fee of the Paris team as high as 703.6 million pounds, of which Neymar is as high as 198 million pounds. The total transfer fee spent by Bayern as a team was £330 million, less than half that of Greater Paris.
The grand Paris semi-final starting line-up cost £540 million, not including Icardi, who was not yet bought out. In comparison, Bayern Munich's squad transfer fee in the semi-finals was £90.1 million, only one-sixth of paris' share.
Relying on different team building ideas, both sides have achieved good results in the European arena. Bayern Munich was able to use this to break the monopoly of La Liga and the Premier League for many years on the Champions League title, while Paris greater Paris relied on the superstar policy to rise rapidly in a short period of time and become a presence that has the opportunity to shake the traditional giants of football.
【Comparison of body value】
In terms of value, Bayern Munich currently has a total value of 805 million euros, ranking fifth in the world, and Bayern Munich occupies 6 of the top 10 places in the Bundesliga value list.
The total value of all players in the Bundesliga is currently 4.06 billion euros, Bayern Munich accounts for 19.8% and the remaining 17 teams are worth 3.255 billion euros.
The total value of the team has reached 903 million euros, ranking second in the world, and the top 7 in the Ligue 1 rankings are all won by the players of Greater Paris.
The total value of all players in Ligue 1 is currently 3.71 billion euros, of which The Greater Paris accounts for 24.3%, and the remaining 19 teams are worth 2.807 billion euros.
On the whole, compared with the value of existing players, the dominance of Greater Paris in Ligue 1 is also very obvious, and even in the world it is a well-deserved "aircraft carrier". Although there are two more Teams in Ligue 1 than in the Bundesliga, the overall value is still 448 million euros less than that of the Bundesliga, and the overall strength difference between the two major leagues is very obvious.
【Conclusion】
Overall, although both teams are "dominant" in their respective leagues, their ideas for building teams and the overall environment of the league are also different. Although Bayern Munich has no shortage of large-scale reinforcements, it is more likely to introduce talents from the same league and tap the potential of the little demon. The Bundesliga is also like bayern's team building tone, and it does not advocate high-priced reinforcements under the big policy.
However, from another point of view, the policy does not restrict the pace of progress in the Bundesliga, although the transfer flow is not known for high prices, but the Bundesliga team from the European performance to the accumulation of stars has a lot of remarkable points. The reason why Bayern can "dominate the world" is more due to the club's outstanding attractiveness, the ability to cultivate small demons and the star team accumulated over the years, which cannot be simply attributed to "the opponent is too weak".
Of course, Bayern's success does not mean that the policy of Greater Paris has failed. As a new upstart in football, relying on strong financial strength, Greater Paris is qualified and completely necessary to enhance its strength through simple and clear "buy, buy and buy", which is the biggest thing they can rely on to be in the front line of football in a short period of time and impact the Champions League championship year after year.
From the perspective of the league, although the two are both "one big", the actual situation is also different. Paris is home to the top personnel in football, but its Ligue 1 has been lonely for many years, and it is difficult to match the Bundesliga from the results down to the cards. Comparatively speaking, the establishment of Bayern's "hegemony" is indeed more difficult.
