PSG executive reveals club's audacious goal: securing three to four more Champions League titles within the next decade, fueled by a young, winning squad.
Having won the UEFA Champions League with a very young group and an impressive collective, Paris Saint-Germain is ambitious and even feels capable of winning the competition multiple times over the next ten years, according to a Parisian executive. A very ambitious goal, but not necessarily unattainable.
PSG changed eras last May 31 in Munich by winning its first Champions League, dismantling Inter Milan in the final by a margin never seen at that stage of the competition (5-0). A success that left its mark on public opinion and changed the realm of possibility for the Parisian club, which, along with its Qatari shareholder, had been chasing such a triumph for practically fifteen years when the initial goal was to win within five.
PSG proved, to the rest of Europe but above all to itself, that it is capable of claiming the most coveted trophy in European football, immediately confirming it by going on to win the UEFA Super Cup and then the Club World Cup, navigating the fateful test of a penalty shootout along the way. Paris no longer feels apprehension during the most emotionally difficult moments, and a virtuous cycle has begun.
PSG Aims to Keep Winning as Much as Possible
With a coach, Luis Enrique, under contract for another 18 months and considered one of the best, if not the best, in the world; a sporting direction that is finally functioning around Luis Campos and Nasser Al-Khelaifi; and, most importantly, a squad among the youngest in Europe (only the 1995 Ajax team won the Champions League with younger players), everything seems perfectly in place for a very impressive red-and-blue sequence in the coming years.
Paris is not yet at the level of the usual Champions League final winners like Real Madrid, Bayern, Barcelona, Liverpool, or AC Milan, but a Parisian executive shared the club's ambitions in L'Equipe: "We must continue winning to get closer to those clubs. It's normal, we are a more recent club. That is our challenge: continue on this momentum and win as many titles as possible. This PSG has the means to win another three or four Champions League titles in the next ten years."
Desire Doue, Joao Neves, Warren Zaire-Emery, and Senny Mayulu will then be barely 30 years old.
