Message from the President of Paris Saint-Germain
As the most unforgettable season draws to a close, I wanted to say to the whole Paris Saint-Germain family, Thank You. As we look back today, it is easy to forget how demanding the season has been, across so many competitions and countries, at the highest levels and with the hardest groups and pathways. But through our collective spirit – fighting every day for the Club and each other – this season has been the greatest in the history of Paris Saint-Germain. Winning our magnificent first UEFA Champions League trophy – with the second youngest team on Champions League record, the youngest in Paris Saint-Germain's history, and playing in a way that endeared commentators all over the world – will be forever marked in the annals of football. Even more so alongside our Ligue 1, Coupe de France and Trophée des Champions titles – together with great achievements in handball, judo, women's football, youth football, eSports, and 26 athletes at the Paris Olympics. In the USA this past month, of course, we wanted to finish as World Champions following another memorable tournament campaign beating some of the biggest clubs in the world, but after such a long season we can be so very proud of what our players and staff have achieved as runners-up on the global stage. Everyone has contributed to all these successes – all our Presidents, players, managers, sports directors and staff of the past; and most particularly today I thank our amazing football department and employees, our partners, our incredible coach Luis Enrique, and our soldiers – our players – who defend our institution and fight for the Club every day and every match, both on and off the pitch. I will also never forget our fans: in Paris, across the whole of France, and internationally – we have the best fans in the world. They have followed the team everywhere – every city and country we go, in the stadiums and streets. They never stopped singing, never stopped believing, and pushed the team – winning or losing – to the very last minute. I am so proud our fans are an example to all fans – and the celebrations we all shared on the Avenue des Champs-Élysées and in the Parc des Princes in June will remain with us forever. However, our project is not just about winning today or tomorrow or short term success – we are building something strong and enduring for the long term. We have so much more to do, and as the song goes 'après tant d'années de galères et de combats' we will continue to work harder every day. Always remaining humble, always shaped by the collective where the super-star is the team – and with sporting values and pride in the colours of Paris Saint-Germain and representing France in our hearts. Thank you for your support over this most memorable season, and here's to many more successes ahead for Paris Saint-Germain. Ici C'est Paris Nasser Al-Khelaïfi,

Qatar-owned Paris Saint-Germain wins its first Champions League title, beats Inter Milan 5-0
With their 5-0 victory over Inter Milan in the final of the 2024-2025 Champions League on Saturday 31 May 2025, Paris Saint-Germain have made history by winning the trophy for the first time. Supported by 18,000 fans in Munich, and many more in Paris, throughout France and around the world, the Rouge & Bleu added a 55th title to their trophy cabinet with Europe's most prestigious prize. Paris Saint-Germain are the champions of Europe! After defeating Brest in February (3-0, 7-0), Liverpool in March (0-1, 1-0, 4-1 on penalties), Aston Villa in April (3-1, 2-3) and Arsenal in May (1-0, 2-1), Paris Saint-Germain overcame Inter Milan in an epic final thanks to goals from Achraf Hakimi (12'), Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (73'), Senny Mayulu (87'), and Désiré Doué (20', 60'). Captain Marquinhos - the most capped player in Paris Saint-Germain's history in European competition with 107 appearances - and his team-mates added another title to an already historic 2024-2025 season and etched their name forever in the Club's history by winning the title for the first time. Paris Saint-Germain have won 37 trophies since the arrival of Qatar Sports Investments (QSI). By combining the excellence of their youth with the strength of their team spirit, Paris Saint-Germain, the 24th club to be crowned champions of the competition, distinguished themselves in this year's Champions League by becoming the second-youngest winners in history, with an average age of 24 years and 3 months. The capital club were also able to rely on the variety of their attacking forces, with seven players involved in at least five goals in the competition (Bradley Barcola, Désiré Doué, Ousmane Dembélé, Achraf Hakimi, Nuno Mendes, Fabián Ruiz and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia), a record this season. Now winners of four trophies this season: The Trophée des Champions (1-0 against AS Monaco, on 5th January 2025 at Stadium 974 in Doha, Qatar), Ligue 1 by a 19-point margin, and the Coupe de France (3-0, against Reims, on 24th May 2025 at the Stade de France), Luis Enrique's men have won the Champions League, the second European trophy in their history, after the European Cup Winners' Cup (1-0 against Rapid Vienna on 8th May 1996 at the Stade du Roi Baudouin in Brussels). Paris Saint-Germain will continue their quest for excellence from 14th June when they travel to the United States for the Club World Cup. Until then, an entire club, an entire city and an entire country can savour the moment. Born to shine, Paris Saint-Germain are European champions! Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, President of Paris Saint-Germain: "I am immensely proud of this first magnificent victory in the Champions League final, a historic moment for Paris Saint-Germain, for French football and for the city of Paris. It is the culmination of an exemplary collective effort, driven by the commitment, team spirit and passion of all those who bring this club to life. There are many people who deserve to lift this trophy. I would like to thank the players, Luis Enrique, his staff, Luis Campos, and all those who, every day, build this ambitious and coherent project. This success is that of a united group, a loyal fan base that was able to experience its first final in the stadium, and a club that has never stopped believing in its dream. This title, for all the generations of players, coaches and managers who have marked PSG's history, is an immense joy and an honour for Paris, for our institution and for all those who have supported the Rouge et Bleu for so many years."
