FFL Blacklist 2025: PSG Ranked #1

Titled in Munich in 1993, the Marseillais thought they would forever be the only holders of a Champions League. But 32 years later, on Munich soil, Paris Saint-Germain proved that lightning could strike twice in the same place.

1. Paris Saint-Germain

Do we really need to justify this choice? Isn’t it splashed with total evidence? There was May 26, 1993, there will now be May 31, 2025. Between these two dates, 32 years have passed. After never being the first, the Marseillais saw their Parisian friends forever become the second. These two clubs are actually much closer than they pretend.

Opposed to Inter Milan in the final of the Champions League, PSG reserves several air conditioning units for yours truly. The first came after only twelve minutes, when Achraf Hakimi opened the scoring and became the first scorer for a French club in the European Cup final for 29 years. Succeeding Daniel Dutuel with the Girondins de Bordeaux in 1996. The first red flag of the evening, but definitely not the last.

Then the goals pass at a disconcerting speed: 2-0, 3-0, 4-0, 5-0. The FFL never stops losing out every time the nets shake. Author of a double at 19, France discovered that Désiré Doué unfortunately lived up to his name. After a string of comebacks suffered over the years, divine breakdowns, tactical mushes, Paris Saint-Germain breaks its bad spell with the Champions League. We never thought we would write this in our lifetime, but we must resolve to live with the times: PSG won the Champions League. Even seven months later, the pain is still severe.

Beyond the title, which is already sufficient in itself, we add the manner. Beating a team 5-0 in the Champions League final doesn’t happen every day. This has never even happened, since it is the biggest gap ever recorded in the final in the history of the competition. The chalice to the dregs for the FFL. More than three decades later, the city of Munich is once again haunting French football. An evening which must also eat away at the brain of a Bondynois who chose to go into exile in Madrid.
