Paris Saint-Germain have not always been European giants, but since an initial golden age in the 1990s, they have built themselves into a globally recognised club.
Since current owners Qatar Sports Investments purchased the club in 2011, they have become a bona fide European powerhouse, boasting financial and football might.
Yet PSG still seek the silverware that would solidify that status and will always feel like pretenders on the global stage until they get their hands on the ultimate prize: the UEFA Champions League.
The Sporting News takes a look at PSG’s record in Europe, trophies won, finals reached, and other performance indicators.

Have PSG won the Champions League?
PSG have famously never won the UEFA Champions League, something the fanbase and front office are both desperate to change.
Having become accustomed to dominating the French top flight over the past decade, PSG crave more than just domestic supremacy. They want to be kings of Europe.
They reached the final in 2020 but fell 1-0 to Bayern Munich on a Kingsley Coman goal in the 59th minute. It was a particularly cruel blow given Coman had developed at the PSG academy before leaving the club in 2014.
They are set to face Inter Milan in the 2025 Champions League final on Saturday, May 31, so they may not need to wait much longer to lift this coveted trophy.

PSG record in European, international competitions, UEFA finals
PSG do have one European trophy, having secured the Cup Winners’ Cup in 1996, beating Austrian club Rapid Wien 1-0 on a goal by Bruno Ngotty in the first half.
That qualified them for the 1996 UEFA Super Cup, where they were beaten decisively by Juventus 9-2 on aggregate across the two-legged competition.
They have only ever contested three UEFA finals of any kind: the 2020 Champions League final, 1996 Cup Winners’ Cup final, and 2001 Intertoto Cup. They won the latter — a now-defunct tournament with multiple winners — on away goals after a 1-1 draw with Brescia.
