2011-2012 French Ligue 1 Season Review

The 2011-2012 French Ligue 1 had a surprise winner in Montpellier HSC with the club winning its first Ligue 1 title in its history. Montpellier was led by striker Oliver Giroud who tied for the most goals and had the most shots on target and along with fellow prospect Eden Hazard (Lille)  will play next season in the English Premiership after major transfers during this summer. The other story in French Soccer is the continuing development Paris St-Germain who despite heavy spending finished second in 2011-2012, but has continue to bring players in and look to be heavy favorites for years to come.
