PSG's History and Achievements in the UEFA Champions League
A tale of heartbreaks and near misses
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is one of the most successful clubs in French football, but they have yet to achieve their ultimate goal of winning the UEFA Champions League.
PSG have reached the final of the competition once, in 2020, but they were defeated by Bayern Munich. They have also been eliminated in the semi-finals on four occasions, and in the quarter-finals on nine occasions.
Despite their failures in the Champions League, PSG have enjoyed success in other competitions. They have won the Ligue 1 title 10 times, the Coupe de France 14 times, and the Coupe de la Ligue 9 times.
PSG's best season in the Champions League
PSG's best season in the Champions League came in 2019-20. They won all four domestic titles and reached the final of the Champions League, where they were defeated by Bayern Munich.
PSG's run to the final was impressive. They defeated Real Madrid and Manchester United in the group stage, and then Atalanta and RB Leipzig in the knockout rounds.
In the final, PSG took the lead through Neymar, but Bayern Munich came back to win 1-0.
PSG's most famous Champions League results
PSG have recorded two of the most famous yet contrasting results in the history of the Champions League.
In the 2000-01 season, PSG defeated Barcelona 4-0 at the Parc des Princes. This was one of the most unexpected results in the history of the competition.
However, in the 2017-18 season, PSG were humiliated by Barcelona, losing 6-1 at the Camp Nou. This was one of the most embarrassing defeats in the history of the club.
PSG's future in the Champions League
PSG are one of the favorites to win the Champions League in the 2022-23 season. They have a squad full of world-class players, including Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Kylian Mbappe.
PSG will be hoping to make history by winning their first Champions League title. If they can do it, it would be a crowning achievement for the club and its fans.
