In the last 12 years, Paris Saint-Germain has won 10 Ligue One titles. However, on the European stage, they always fell short. They came closer in the 2020 edition, wherein they reached the finals of the Champions League. However, in the most important game, they succumbed to Bayern Munich and thus ended up as runners-up. In the next season they reached the semi-finals of the Champions League before getting knocked out at the hands of Manchester City. 

To ensure a European Silverware, they went on to sign some of the biggest players in the summer of 2021. However, even Lionel Messi failed to win them the title that they cherished the most. Coaches changed, players changed, but the fortune remained the same. To make matters worse, they lost Mbappé to Real Madrid in the summer of 2024. However, what happened next was something truly unbelievable. 

The Parisians clinched the historic treble in the 2024-25 season. Firstly, they won the league with a margin of 19 points. This was then followed by a comprehensive French Cup victory. However, the most special of the three was their UEFA Champions League win. Interestingly, we are talking about the UCL triumph not because they have won it, but because of the manner in which they won the same. PSG literally blew away every team that came their way. Barring Liverpool, no team gave them any trouble in the entire European campaign. 

Even before the final, everyone was expecting a tight contest between them and Inter. However, they did not just beat Inter; they demolished them. A 5-0 scoreline in the final. No one could have ever expected that. It was truly a special moment for every PSG fan.

However, what was more special was the tribute that the fans paid to the PSG manager, Luis Enrique, and his late daughter. It was truly an emotional moment not just for the Paris supporters but for every football fan on the planet.
