One equals six! With the Intercontinental Cup won this Wednesday, December 17 against Flamengo, PSG won its sixth title of the year 2025. A rare performance, a heavenly and greedy quest, begun at the beginning of January with the Champions Trophy, already in Doha – finally, it’s home.
“I believe that this year is impossible to repeat for Paris Saint-Germain, it is an unforgettable year,” said Luis Enrique before leaving Qatar. Six trophies is not bad, we have to continue. We have to continue to win, we have to continue to make history, that’s our mentality.”
A look back at the five majors before, including the first Champions League in the club’s history.
January 5, the Champions Trophy: the beginning
By beating Monaco (1-0), for its first trophy of the year, the most honorary, the least prestigious, there is already a lot of the PSG of 2025 in this success. Let’s forget the part, tasteless, and frozen by organisms in full recovery after the Christmas break. The important thing lies elsewhere.
It was a goal from Ousmane Dembélé which signed this victory. The man of the year, the France Football Ballon d’or, which no one could imagine at that time. It is also a goal in added time of the match (90th + 2), another symbol.
Paris never gives up, believes in its destiny, a resilience, the famous one, distilled by Luis Enrique, head coach and everyday shaman. This Paris, of Dembélé and Enrique, is launched and will become unstoppable.
April 5, the French Championship: the logic
Rewinding to 2025 and those weeks of glory, chance doesn’t exist, it seems. It was Désiré Doué who gave the victory against Angers (1-0) on April 5 and allowed PSG to be mathematically champion of France.
Who else could stand out than the former Rennais? Having become big at the end of 2024 with his first goal in the Champions League in Salzburg, he burst into the open. Between the metamorphosis of Dembélé and the affirmation of Doué – both thanks to Luis Enrique – Paris is blessed.
May 24, the Coupe de France: preparation
At the Stade de France, PSG annihilated Reims (3-0), with Bradley Barcola double-scoring while he would undoubtedly have started on the bench without the last minute withdrawal of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
The score is flattering for Paris, which has not played any high-stakes matches for more than three weeks and its qualification for the Champions League final, scheduled for a week later. But the preparation is successful, no one is injured, Marquinhos lifts the trophy. The repeat looks great.
May 31, the Champions League: the feast
In the heat of Munich, lit by an eternal light, PSG shines against Inter Milan, whom it bites, claws and slaps (5-0). On the night of the final and the most important meeting in your history, you should bring out the perfect match. This is what Luis Enrique’s team achieves: a recital, a masterpiece, a master class, an acme of play and poetry in movements and goals.
Ousmane Dembélé offers two, Désiré Doué scores two, Vitinha humiliates every Interist in his path. Not the most beautiful final of the Champions League in history because the Italians exploded from the start but undoubtedly the most beautiful finalist of the C1, architect of a mechanic close to perfection for 90 minutes. An orgy and Parisians at the Pantheon. Forever the best.
August 13, the European Super Cup: the concentrate
With six days of training under our belts for the Parisians, we weren’t expecting much and we weren’t disappointed. Paris does not advance, suffers from the athletic domination of Tottenham and its science of set pieces, the Achilles heel of PSG. The English logically lead 2-0 after only 48 minutes of play and are heading towards winning this minor trophy, between the winner of the C1 and that of the C3.
Everything will change with the coaching of Luis Enrique who brings in Gonçalo Ramos and Kang-In Lee, Parisian first scorer. Dembélé becomes decisive again, this time as a passer, for the Portuguese’s equalizing header (2-2).
Penalties. And Lucas Chevalier, newcomer, who allows himself to do a Gianluigi Donnarumma by diverting a penalty. With its 2025 weapons – the mentality, key players, an inspired coach – Paris is holding its fifth trophy of the year at arm’s length. Marquinhos, specialist in uprising, knows the recipe.
December 17, the Intercontinental Cup: the apotheosis
The best attack in the Champions League this season is sticking its tongue out at the end of the year, silent in Bilbao (0-0) and without bite during this final of the Intercontinental Cup (1-1). But PSG has other resources and when there are none left, it invents some, with an unimaginable penalty shootout from Matvey Safonov.
We knew, since qualifying a year ago in Lens in the 32nd final of the Coupe de France, that the Russian had mastered the exercise. But stopping four shots stands out as an insane feat, a crazy rarity and already in the annals of the club and the competition. The first French club to register its name on the winners of this Cup, Paris becomes the greatest team in the world after an ordinary match but a historic penalty shootout. A nice way to conclude. With Paris, love lasts forever.
