The Ligue 1 is the top level French football professional championship and it is composed of 20 clubs. Before 2002, the championship was named "Division 1". The championship was created in 1933. The team from Saint-Etienne (ASSE) owns 10 titles, among which 9 were obtained between 1963 and 1983. It is the famous period known as "l'épopée des Verts" (the Green's epic, with a reference with the team's colours), during which Saint-Etienne played the Champions League final in 1976. Before Saint-Etienne, the Stade de Reims dominated French football from 1954 to 1963. Between 1983 and 2001, a few teams (Olympique de Marseille, Girondins de Bordeaux, AS Monaco, FC Nantes and PSG) won all the titles. Olympique Lyonnais, with 7 titles in a row, dominated the Ligue 1 between 2001 and 2008. Bordeaux was the French champion in 2009. Marseille is the only French club that won the Champions League in 1993.
