How many red cards in Ligue 1?

Jean-Clair Todibo’s record red card against Angers on Sunday is the latest in a growing list of unwanted disciplinary records in Ligue 1, and Ligue 2 this season. 

Todibo’s red card, where the French centre-back was adjudged to have been the last man and therefore sent off after just nine seconds, was the quickest red card given in Ligue 1 history. The previous record was Maxime Spano’s red card for Toulouse, which came after 40 seconds. 

That isn’t the only unwanted disciplinary record set by Ligue 1 this season. The 11 red cards given during gameweek three of the Ligue 1 season was the most given in a single gameweek since Opta records began back in the 1991-92 season. The previous record was 10, which had been registered on two occasions. 

Ligue 1 have also given out (by far) the highest quantity of red cards across Europe’s top five leagues this season. 34 red cards have already been given in Ligue 1 in just eight gameweeks. Of Europe’s top five divisions, the next highest is Spain’s La Liga, where 20 red cards have been given. Only four red cards have been shown in the Premier League. 

In addition, an astonishing 43 red cards have been given in Ligue 2, the highest in any major division across Europe.

The French Ligue 1 has recorded an alarming 34 red cards after only a handful of game weeks in the 2022/23 campaign.

Over the weekend, Nice player Jean-Clair Todibo received the fastest red card in Ligue 1 history, which added to the unwanted disciplinary record in the Ligue 1.

His red card came after nine seconds, beating the previous record held by Maxime Spano’s red card for Toulouse, which came after 40 seconds.

Furthermore, since Opta started recording red card stats, the 11 red cards brandished in gameweek three in the Ligue 1 were the most in a single week.
