Paris Saint-Germain 2025

Coach: Luis Enrique

Paris Saint-Germain finally won their first-ever Champions League title in 2025 under Luis Enrique, thrashing Inter Milan 5-0 in the final — the heaviest defeat in the fixture's history — a result that capped a transformation of the club's identity away from its previous reliance on individual superstar attackers toward a more cohesive, high-pressing collective system. The victory arrived in the same year the club had finally moved on from the Mbappé-Neymar era of marquee individual signings, instead building a squad around a younger, more balanced core developed and assembled with genuine tactical cohesion as the priority rather than star power alone. The scale of the final victory over an Inter side that had itself reached the final two years earlier stunned observers across European football, and was widely interpreted as validation of Luis Enrique's methodical rebuilding approach since his appointment. For a club whose ownership had explicitly targeted the Champions League as the measure of the entire project's success since the Qatari takeover began in 2011, this triumph represented the culmination of well over a decade of sustained financial and strategic investment finally converted into the trophy the club had always wanted most.
