Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has come a long way since its founding in 1970. What started as a small club with a dream to give Paris a top football team has grown into one of Europe’s strongest clubs.
The early years were difficult. PSG climbed through the lower divisions while dealing with money problems and strong competition. But the belief that Paris deserved a great football team never faded.
By the 1990s, PSG began making its mark. Players like Raí, George Weah, and David Ginola brought skill and excitement to the Parc des Princes. In 1996, PSG won their first major European trophy, the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup, proving they could compete at the highest level.
The real change came in the 2010s with new owners and big-name players like Zlatan Ibrahimović, Thiago Silva, Edinson Cavani, Neymar Jr., and Kylian Mbappé. PSG became known for flashy, exciting football that drew attention around the world.
In 2020, PSG reached their first Champions League final but lost to Bayern Munich. That only strengthened the team’s determination to win.
In 2025, PSG reached a new high. With new talents like Desire Doue, João Neves, William Pacho, and experienced stars like Ousmane Dembélé, PSG not only dominated Ligue 1 but also won the UEFA Champions League, beating Inter Milan in the final. This historic win cemented PSG’s place among Europe’s top clubs.
