The best period enjoyed by the Parisians after their formation was during the nineties, when they won a league title and four French Cups, two French League Cups, two French Super Cups, and one Cup Winners Cup. However, soon after in the 2000s, a financial turmoil followed.
The club saw a downfall in fortune, but was finally revived in 2011 when Qatar Sports Investments took over. They brought with them the financial superpower and in the following years signed numerous big names, including that of Carlo Ancelotti as the manager, and players like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Thiago Silva, Neymar, Lionel Messi, and Kylian Mbappe.
History was created in 2021 when the aforementioned trio played together, showcasing their prowess in the market. However, after the departure of the trio, they shifted their focus from signing star players to those who align with the manager’s style of play and philosophy. As a result, they salvaged their maiden Champions League title, 54 years after their formation, and that too, by creating a record of the highest margin win in a final 5-0.
After winning the Champions League this term, the Parisians will be hopeful of continuing their fascinating project under manager Luis Enrique. They have dominated in France, and now will turn their focus towards dominating Europe.
