Paris Saint-Germain European football success

Overview

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) achieved significant European success in August 2026. The club first secured the UEFA Champions League title in Budapest, defeating Arsenal in a penalty shootout following a 1–1 draw. In the final, Kai Havertz scored early for Arsenal, while Ousmane Dembélé converted a penalty for PSG after a foul on Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Arsenal missed two penalties from Eberechi Eze and Gabriel during the shootout, marking Luis Enrique’s first Champions League trophy.

PSG continued their winning streak by defeating Aston Villa 2–1 to win the 2026 UEFA Super Cup at the Red Bull Arena in Salzburg, Austria. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia opened the scoring in the 20th minute, and Désiré Doué secured the victory in the 61st minute after a VAR review overturned an initial offside flag. Aston Villa, the Europa League winners, equalized before halftime through 17-year-old Brian Madjo, who became the youngest player to start and the youngest scorer in the competition’s history.

The victory marks PSG’s second consecutive Super Cup title, making them the first French team to achieve back-to-back Super Cup titles. They join AC Milan and Real Madrid as one of only three teams to achieve back-to-back wins in the competition. This win marks their sixth UEFA trophy and fourth consecutive European trophy, representing the 13th trophy won under manager Luis Enrique.

Alongside this on-field success, PSG has been active in the transfer market to bolster squad depth. The club has reportedly spent 162 million euros on new signings, including Maghnes Akliouche, Lucas Digne, Ferran Torres, Mika Godts, and Zion Suzuki. These acquisitions are balanced by player sales totaling 155 million euros, including the departures of Gonçalo Ramos to AC Milan and Randal Kolo Muani to Juventus.
