Ligue 1: 20 Assists Set All-Time Record

The French Ligue 1 has set a new all-time record for assists in a single season, with 20 players contributing to the tally this year.

The record was previously held by Lyon's Nabil Fekir, who had 17 assists in the 2015-16 campaign. However, this year's record-breaking performance belongs to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), whose forwards Kylian Mbappe and Mauro Icardi combined for 20 assists between them.

The duo were instrumental in PSG's incredible run of form throughout the season, helping the team to win the Ligue 1 title and reach the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League.

Mbappe, who is currently one of the most sought-after young talents in world football, provided the key assist on PSG's goal against Monaco in January, which secured their place at the top of the table.

Icardi, meanwhile, scored 19 goals and contributed seven assists during the campaign, proving why he is considered one of the best strikers in the world.

The record-breaking performance by PSG's forwards is just one example of the exceptional level of football being played in France this season. The league has been dominated by teams such as PSG, Olympique de Marseille, and AS Monaco, who have all had outstanding seasons.

Overall, the 20-assist record is a testament to the quality of play in the Ligue 1 and highlights the talent that exists within the league. It will be interesting to see how the league performs in future seasons, but for now, we can enjoy the spectacle of some of the best football in Europe right here in France.
