Paris Saint-Germain enjoyed a historic 2024/25 campaign as the club won a first-ever UEFA Champions League crown, emphatically beating Inter Milan 5-0 in the final.
They also completed a domestic treble by winning the Ligue 1 title, Coupe de France and Trophee des Champions. But, they missed out on FIFA Club World Cup glory after losing the final to Chelsea.
However, they will have a short turnaround with a campaign just around the corner, as the Parisians focus on defending their trophies in 2025/26.
PSG cruised to Ligue 1 glory last season, with a 19-point gap above second-placed Marseille, and they wrapped up the trophy with six games to play.
That success meant record-extending 13th league title and their fourth consecutive league triumph.
The Parisians are ready to fight all the way in the 2025/26 campaign but there will be some tricky games on the horizon.
