Is Champions League three-peat really possible for PSG?
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.- Luis Enrique: still hungry - Hence PSG winning their two titles, and two UEFA Super Cups, despite playing 18 matches against Premier League teams in the last two years.
Luis Enrique has breathed new life into Paris Saint-Germain on the Champions League stage, securing their status as one of the tournament's finest teams by winning in consecutive years. Now, they are aiming for a historic treble. Their captain, Marquinhos, acknowledges the challenge, stating that it will be a tough journey with many obstacles ahead.
The Qatar-owned club had endured years of disappointment in Europe, but their fortunes changed after hiring former Barcelona and Spain coach Luis Enrique in 2023. Under Enrique's guidance, PSG advanced to the semi-finals in their first season and triumphed in the 2025 Champions League final, defeating Inter Milan 5-0. They also managed to retain their title the following year by defeating Premier League champions Arsenal on penalties in Budapest, becoming the second team to succeed since the modern Champions League began in 1992.
A treble would be an unprecedented feat, with only Real Madrid, Ajax, Bayern Munich, and Di Stefano's Madrid accomplishing this. The modern format of the competition has made the demands greater, as PSG played 17 games to win the trophy in each of the last two campaigns. However, their attacking prowess, led by Ousmane Dembele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and the midfield dominance of Vitinha, make them a formidable force.
Despite the high expectations, PSG remains favorites to win Ligue 1, even if they opt to rest key players to maintain freshness for the Champions League.
