Paris Saint-Germain: Ligue 1 Champions 2025

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) were named champions of Ligue 1 for the 2024/25 season, making this their 13th victory and their fourth championship in a row. The French team finished the season without losing, winning 23 out of 28 matches, with five draws by April 5, 2025. Because of this outstanding campaign, PSG established a powerful position in French football by mixing the energy of youth with smart tactics led by Luis Enrique.

Key Moments and Performances

The most important game was a 1-0 win over Angers on April 5, 2025, which ensured the team earned the title with plenty of matches left in the season. The win did not only highlight PSG’s abilities in the game, but it also reflected the team’s new strategy after Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Kylian Mbappé left to join Real Madrid in the summer of 2024. Thanks to Luis Enrique, PSG became an energetic team full of young players and had the highest expected goal total in all Europe’s main leagues. Achraf Hakimi, Nuno Mendes, Gianluigi Donnarumma, and newcomer Désiré Doué ensured the team had solid defense.
