Ligue 1 games have better atmosphere than Premier League games, the quality of the game might be underwhelming, but even fans from the mid table teams always make a lot of noises, and unfortunately many times that escalate into violence.
I have seen better atmospheres in Saint Etienne,Nice, Marseille,Lyon, Rennes games than in PL, except in Anfield.
Probably because PL officials are pricing out real fans, so the atmosphere is more quite than it was 20 years ago.
I remember better atmospheres in early 2000s PL, the quality of the game wasn't as good as now, but the atmosphere was definitely better.
