Paris Saint-Germain's 2024-25 season review 📝
Ligue 1, Coupe de France, Trophée des champions, and... Champions League! Paris Saint-Germain wrapped up this weekend a truly... HI-STO-RIC 2024-2025 season! Discover our review of this memorable 2024-25 campaign. The Big Story of the Season ⚠️ January 22, 2025, 10:15 PM, 50th minute of play. Manchester City leads 0-2 on the pitch of Parc des Princes during the 7th matchday of the Champions League group stage. Paris Saint-Germain is then virtually eliminated from the Champions League. Advertisement Then, the magic... PSG overturns the 2023 European champion in 30 minutes thanks to goals from Ousmane Dembélé, Bradley Barcola, João Neves, and Gonçalo Ramos. Paris wins 4-2 at the end of a match that turned the red and blue season around. After this victory, Luis Enrique's PSG became unstoppable. The Record in France 📝 Ligue 1, Coupe de France, and Trophée des champions: PSG achieved its second consecutive national treble after the 2023-2024 season! Paris dominated the competition in Ligue 1, remaining unbeaten until the 31st matchday and a defeat against OGC Nice. This domination was notably marked by memorable victories against other top teams in the championship. The 3-0 victory at Olympique de Marseille in October; the crucial win at AS Monaco, 4-2, in December; the offensive festival on March 1st against Lille with four goals scored in just 45 minutes. Advertisement PSG won its thirteenth French championship title in history, nineteen points ahead of... OM. The Red and Blue's record is exceptional: 26 wins, six draws, and two losses. 92 goals scored, with only 35 conceded! The Record in Europe 📝 Something happened this weekend, didn't it? Paris Saint-Germain won the first Champions League in its history by defeating Inter 5-0 in the final in Munich. It's undoubtedly a 10/10. However, the Parisians' start to the competition was complicated. In the group stage, PSG won only four out of eight matches, against Girona, Salzburg, Manchester City, and Stuttgart. But in 2025, Paris changed and became the master of Europe. Advertisement Brest, Liverpool, Aston Villa, Arsenal, and Inter: PSG knocked all its opponents down to claim the ultimate prize. They Delivered 🤩 It's so difficult to single out and highlight names from this collective... Ousmane Dembélé, on his way to the Ballon d'Or, was obviously the X factor of the Parisian season with his 33 goals and 13 assists in all competitions. Gianluigi Donnarumma saved his club several times, summer signings Willian Pacho and João Neves became indispensable in Luis Enrique's lineup, Achraf Hakimi had a season as the best right-back in the world. Let's also talk about the emergence of Désiré Doué, the brilliant six months of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and the solidity of Marquinhos! They Raised Questions 🤔 Again, it's very complicated to point out players who raised questions this year. Advertisement The situations of Warren Zaïre-Emery and Kang-In Lee, who respectively went from starter to substitute and from reliable rotation player to invisible by the end of the season, do raise questions and could impact the summer transfer market... The Summer of 2025 ☀️ Alongside the Club World Cup, Paris Saint-Germain's summer transfer window promises to be particularly interesting to follow. Paris is looking for a right central defender to compete with... or even replace Marquinhos! Indeed, it is not impossible to see the Brazilian captain leave the capital this summer. PSG is also active in recruiting an additional creative offensive player. The 17-year-old Argentine prodigy Franco Mastantuono is reportedly close to signing! Advertisement With his contract ending in 2026, Gianluigi Donnarumma could leave Paris this summer if he does not extend. After the final, the Italian was evasive about his future...

Advantage PSG after first leg at Arsenal
Rate, review, share on Apple Podcasts, Soundcloud, Audioboom, Mixcloud, Acast and Stitcher, and join the conversation on Facebook, Twitter and email. On the podcast today: Paris Saint-Germain win 1-0 at the Emirates Stadium. The French champions stunned Arsenal early on with the midfield three of João Neves, Fabián Ruiz and Vitinha dominating and Ousmane Dembélé scoring. You wondered if this was a step too far for Mikel Arteta's men. They did improve in the second half, but PSG should have extended their lead at the end. So you are left pondering if Arsenal were unlucky or lucky to be going to Paris a goal behind. The panel then look ahead to Inter Milan v Barcelona in the other semi-final and talk about Barça's Copa del Rey win against the spoiled brats from the Bernabéu. Elsewhere, Scott McTominay might propell Napoli to the Serie A title and there is a hat-trick of sorts for Borehamwood's left-back. Support the Guardian here.
