Esteban Lepaul, first top scorer outside of PSG in Ligue 1 in over a decade

With 21 goals to his name, Esteban Lepaul has established himself as the top scorer of the Ligue 1 season, a remarkable achievement that breaks with PSG's long-standing dominance in this area. According to RMC Sport, Lepaul has matched the total of Martin Terrier, his Rennes predecessor, who had set him this goal. This statistic highlights a notable evolution in the distribution of offensive performances in the championship.
