Paris Saint-Germain was founded in 1970, which makes it young compared with many European giants. Its rise to the top of French football has been one of the biggest stories in the modern game.
A new era of investment
In 2011 the club was bought by Qatar Sports Investments. The new owners made big investments in the squad and the infrastructure, and PSG soon became the leading team in Ligue 1.
Star signings
Over the years the club signed globally famous players, including Zlatan Ibrahimović, Neymar and Lionel Messi, and developed Kylian Mbappé into one of the best forwards in the world.
The Champions League chase
PSG has won the French title many times, and the club’s main ambition has long been to win the UEFA Champions League. It reached the final in 2020, and the search for the trophy remains a big story.
