Is Champions League three-peat really possible for PSG?
PARIS: Luis Enrique’s Paris Saint-Germain have already secured their status as one of the Champions League’s greatest teams by winning the trophy in back-to-back years, and now they have their sights set on a rare treble.
The Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) squad, led by coach Luis Enrique, is aiming for a historic treble in the Champions League, following back-to-back victories in recent years. PSG captain Marquinhos acknowledged the difficulty of a three-peat, stating that obstacles and challenges await. Since Enrique took the helm in 2023, PSG has consistently impressed, reaching the semi-finals in his first season and winning their first Champions League title in 2025.
Their recent success included a penalty win against Premier League champions Arsenal. However, the demands of the modern Champions League are higher than ever, with PSG playing 17 games to secure their titles in recent campaigns. The club's players have been heavily involved in various tournaments, including the Club World Cup, leaving them fatigued at the start of the 2025 season.
Despite the challenges, PSG remains the favorite to win the Ligue 1 title and has already made changes to their squad, selling players like Bradley Barcola, Goncalo Ramos, and Lee Kang-in. New signings Ferran Torres and Maghnes Akliouche have bolstered the team, with Torres praising his former coach. Luis Enrique's new contract extension until 2030 indicates his determination to lead PSG, potentially setting the stage for another historic treble in the Champions League.
