A smug Kylian Mbappe has taken a swipe at all the critics of French football, following Lyon's incredible Champions League victory over Manchester City.
The PSG superstar was watching on as underdogs Lyon ripped up the script and dumped favourites City out of the competition, before booking their place in the final four.
It now means 50 per cent of the semi-finalists come from the French top flight, after PSG secured their progression with a narrow victory over Atalanta.
And Mbappe, 21, was keen to make a point, given the extensive criticism the division over comes in for.
The forward immediately took to Twitter to declare: 'FARMERS LEAGUE' in full capitals, followed by a clown face emoji.
Mbappe was insinuating all those who doubt the league have now been made to look foolish, before then going on to tag Lyon's official account in the tweet along with a series of clapping hands.
Mbappe and PSG are now hotly tipped to finally win the competition, after progressing to the semis for the first time in their history.
PSG required their star forward to help get the job done however, with Mbappe coming off the bench late on against Atalanta to help turn a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 victory.
The French top flight came under much scrutiny this season, after it was outright abandoned following the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.
Unlike the Premier League and other European divisions, the French league did not return at a later date and PSG - who held a 12-point margin at the top - were declared victors.
Lyon, at the time of cancellation, sat in seventh place, 28 points behind PSG.
Lyon will go up against Bayern Munich for a place in the final, while PSG will have to overcome German side RB Leipzig.

A farmers' league 1000%. Can you predict EPL winner next season? but we know PSG,Bayern and Juventus are winnners of their domestic leagues next season. That is why I can't waste a second of my life watching their shampionships even if they have talented players(Kylian,Neymar,CR7)

even if Barcelona had rested for 34 years, Bayern would still crush and swipe them out like a broom sweeping the dirties on the floor.

I beg to differ... it's the inconsistent performance of the teams in English football that makes it hard to guess, not that the teams are good... when they meet teams from the said farmer's leagues placed similarly or lower in the leagues they still fumble... cases in point. Wolves vs Sevilla and Manchester city vs Lyon, Leipzig vs Tottenham, etc No league is easier, some teams are more dominant and consistent in their leagues... Some teams are good/overhyped but inconsistent in their local leagues. Peace

That's a lame excuse bro. It's a sign of weakness if you put it that way. These clubs deserve to be in the semi final. However, if we're gonna talk about their leagues, the only reason why Ligue 1 is still a farmer's league (something which Mbappé doesn't seem to understand) is because of the Qatari takeover at PSG. This league was a really competitive league before 2011. And now it's a one horse race. And as for the Bundesliga, it's a one horse race because of Bayern's sheer dominance and brilliance.
