Paris Saint-Germain, who won the Champions League championship, is it now at its peak or is it more promising in the future?

On International Children's Day on June 1, Paris Saint-Germain, who just won the first Champions League championship in club history, held a grand celebration. The players took a bus to cruise the Champs-Elysées with 110,000 fans who greeted them. They received a reception from US President Macron at the Elysée Palace and celebrated at the Princes Park Stadium.

Macron gave Paris Saint-Germain a very high praise: "(Champions League champion) has finally arrived in Paris. You have done it in a noble and terrible way. You are the champions, we are all shocked. This is a team, a mentality, a will, a unity, ambition. This is the victory of the whole team unity. This is the football we like to see, and it is also created by you."

Macron specifically mentioned the 14-year persistence and efforts of club chairman Algelefi: "For 14 years, you have experienced all this, and you have been defending this club, this city. There were several years that were thankless for Paris Saint-Germain, but you never gave up."

On June 30, 2011, when the Qatar consortium completed a 70% equity acquisition of Paris Saint-Germain, it opened the era of gold-dollar football for this French Ligue 1 giant. In the summer window of 2011, I spent more than 90 million euros to buy back eight players. In the winter window that year, Ancelotti was invited to set the annual salary record of the head coach of the Ligue 1 League. In the summer window of 2012, I bought Ibrahimovic with the second highest annual salary in the world, and then signed a five-month contract with Beckham at the end of his career. In the summer window of 2013, he spent 114 million euros to buy three players, and in the summer window of 2015, he signed Di Maria from Manchester United for 63 million euros. However, years of huge investment has never been able to make a breakthrough in the European war.

Looking back, I felt that Paris was really like a rich nouveau riche in the world football world. But starting from 2017, Paris Saint-Germain's operations were even more shocking. In 2017, he invested 400 million euros in a summer window and bought Neymar and Mbappe. By 2021, the World Footballer Messi joined, Paris Saint-Germain, which has world's top players in the front, middle and back courts, has always been trapped in the Champions League deadlock: it is difficult to break through.

2023 Paris ushered in a turning point, and Enrique took over the team. Neymar terminated the contract with the club, and Messi left Miami International. After clearing out a group of famous, high annual salary and older players, Paris Saint-Germain has entered the fast lane with young players as the main body and emphasizing team cooperation as the direction.

5-0 wins Inter's Champions League final, with Paris Saint-Germain's average age of only 24.8 years old, and its starting lineup is packed with young people, in stark contrast to Inter, whose average age is over 30 years old. Marquinios, 31, is the only starter over 30 years old at Paris Saint-Germain, while Douai, who scored two goals from the start, scored two goals, is less than 19 years old, and two other substitutes, Mayulu and Emery, are both young players born in 2006.

This Champions League final is destined to be recorded in history and become one of the greatest famous games. The 5:0 score has become the most disparity in the history of any major event in the history of nearly 70 years, and it was set by a group of young players. Although Paris Saint-Germain's victory was impressive, it could have done better, as Dembele, who was named the Champions League player this season, scored no goals, and Douai, who scored two goals, was replaced early. In other words, this is a team that has not yet reached its peak.

Enrique said at a press conference after winning the championship: "We are ambitious, and our awards continue to conquer the world of football." Enrique's ambition is obviously to win the defending title in the Champions League. In 2023, when Guardiola led Manchester City to win the triple-tall championship, the team also stood at the top of the world, and many people even think that Manchester City will defend their title in 2024. However, in the 23/24 season, Manchester City lost to Real Madrid in the quarterfinals and lost to Real Madrid again in the 24/25 season Champions League knockout playoffs, and did not even enter the quarterfinals.

The Champions League is so difficult that in modern Champions League history, only Real Madrid achieved three consecutive Champions League games in 2016-2018 under the leadership of Zidane. In European clubs, top players are widely distributed. If you want to break through from group stage to enter the knockout stage or even win the Champions League championship, you need a strong enough lineup and a head coach who can put the players together.

Paris Saint-Germain, who won the Champions League, feels it is difficult to have a position to replenish players at the moment. But its rise was achieved on the basis of spending billions of dollars and buying a batch of the world's best players. Because Kvaratshelia, who joined from Naples in January, proved that club chairman Alghelefi has always been willing to show off his skills in the transfer market. It is precisely because of the addition of this Georgian striker that Paris Saint-Germain took a dramatic change in the Champions League schedule, and he turned Paris Saint-Germain from being almost eliminated in the league stage to the current Champions League champion. From this point of view, a funder who is willing to continue to spend money to supplement the team's strength is the first guarantee for the team's achievements. In this regard, Paris wants to establish its own dynasty and has a solid financial foundation.

55-year-old Louis Enrique has established himself as one of the best coaches in the world after winning his second Champions League title. The Paris Saint-Germain Commission asked him to coach and supported him to form a team according to his own ideas, rather than relying on superstars to conquer the world. This cause sown in 2023 was rewarded in 2025. Enrique led Paris Saint-Germain to become the European champion and played the most exciting game scene in Europe. Perhaps only Barcelona's current football style can match its pleasing beauty..

Guardiola, who won the Champions League in 2023, is busy rebuilding, and Real Madrid, which has won 15 Champions League titles in team history, has also ushered in a change of head coaches. Liverpool, which is booming in the Premier League, has become a stepping stone on the road to Paris Saint-Germain's championship. The future of this team led by Enrique is indeed more worth looking forward to.
