Fresh off their first-ever Champions League triumph with one of the youngest squads in Europe and a collective that impressed across the continent, Paris Saint-Germain are not hiding their ambitions. Inside the club, confidence is growing to the point where some believe PSG can lift the Champions League trophy multiple times over the next decade — an extremely bold target, but not an unrealistic one.
PSG entered a new era on May 31 in Munich, where they dismantled Inter Milan 5–0 in the Champions League final — a margin never seen before at that stage of the competition. That victory changed perceptions across Europe and, perhaps more importantly, within the club itself. After nearly fifteen years of chasing Europe’s ultimate prize under Qatari ownership — with an initial goal of winning it within five — Paris finally proved they belong at the very top.
The momentum did not stop there. PSG followed up by winning the UEFA Super Cup and then the Intercontinental Cup, showing composure even in the most emotionally intense moments, including penalty shootouts. The mental barrier that once haunted the club on the biggest stages now appears to be gone, replaced by a virtuous cycle of confidence and belief.
Winning as Much as Possible
With Luis Enrique under contract for another 18 months and widely regarded as one of the very best coaches in the world, a sporting structure that finally functions smoothly around the club’s leadership, and one of the youngest squads ever to win the Champions League — only Ajax in 1995 fielded a younger team — everything seems aligned for a sustained period of success.
PSG are not yet on the historical level of Champions League serial winners like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Liverpool or AC Milan. But ambition inside the club is clear. Speaking to L’Équipe, a Parisian executive outlined the long-term vision:
“We need to keep winning to move closer to those clubs. That’s normal — we’re a younger club. That’s our challenge: to continue on this path and win as many titles as possible. This PSG has the means to win three or four Champions Leagues over the next ten years.”
If that vision becomes reality, players like Désiré Doué, João Neves, Warren Zaïre-Emery and Senny Mayulu would barely be approaching — or not even reaching — 30 years of age.
For PSG, the future suddenly looks not just promising, but historic.
