PSG Fans Ready to Conquer Europe: “They’ll Drink More Pints, But We’ll Sing Louder”
PARIS — The Paris Saint-Germain ultras are back, and they’re ready to make noise. As the club prepares for another high-stakes European campaign, the famous Virage Auteuil section has released a new anthem ahead of the 2026 season, declaring their intent to drown out the competition with song, and celebration. The lyrics—”Ils boiront plus de pintes, mais on chantera plus fort” (“They’ll drink more pints, but we’ll sing louder”)—capture the defiant spirit of PSG’s most passionate supporters, who see this as their year to reclaim European glory.
Why This Moment Matters
PSG’s supporters have long been a defining force in French football, known for their unmatched passion and loyalty. The 2025 Champions League final in Munich, where PSG faced Inter Milan, was a testament to their energy—with the Virage Auteuil section leading chants that echoed across the Allianz Arena. Now, as the club gears up for another European push, the ultras are sending a clear message: this isn’t just about drinking; it’s about dominance.
With the 2026–27 UEFA Champions League group stage looming, PSG’s supporters are already turning up the volume. The club’s recent domestic dominance—winning Ligue 1 for the third consecutive season—has only fueled their ambitions. The question now is whether the team can translate that form into European success, and whether the ultras’ roar will be the difference-maker.
The Ultras’ Role in PSG’s Identity
The Virage Auteuil, PSG’s most famous ultras group, has been a cornerstone of the club’s identity for decades. Their chants, banners, and sheer volume have become synonymous with PSG’s home games at the Parc des Princes. The new anthem isn’t just music—it’s a battle cry, a promise to outshout rivals and remind Europe who they’re dealing with.
For fans, the Champions League is more than a tournament; it’s a pilgrimage. The atmosphere in Munich last year was electric, with PSG supporters filling the stands and turning the Allianz Arena into a sea of red and blue. This year, they’re already planning to bring that same intensity to away games, whether in London, Madrid, or beyond.
PSG’s Path to European Glory
On the pitch, PSG enters the 2026–27 season as Ligue 1 champions, but their European ambitions are far from guaranteed. The Champions League group stage will be a true test, with PSG facing tough competition from top clubs across Europe. The ultras’ chants will be a constant reminder of the club’s hunger for success, but the team must deliver on the field.
Key factors for PSG’s European push include:
- Injury resilience: The team has faced setbacks in recent seasons, and avoiding key player injuries will be critical.
- Tactical adaptability: Coach Luis Enrique must find the right balance between attacking flair and defensive solidity.
- Home advantage: The Parc des Princes remains one of Europe’s most intimidating venues, and the ultras will ensure that away teams feel the pressure.
With matches against Arsenal, Nantes, and other top teams on the horizon, PSG’s supporters are already preparing for a season of highs and lows. But one thing is certain: they won’t be silent spectators.
What’s Next for PSG and Their Fans
PSG’s next domestic fixture is a Ligue 1 match against Nantes on May 30, 2026, at the Parc des Princes. This will be a chance for the ultras to showcase their energy ahead of the European campaign. The team’s full 2026–27 schedule will be announced in the coming weeks, but fans are already marking their calendars for key dates.
For now, the focus is on building momentum. The Virage Auteuil’s anthem is a call to arms, and PSG’s supporters are answering. Whether in Paris or across Europe, they’re ready to make their voices heard—louder than ever.
