What we know

Paris Saint-Germain, coached by Luis Enrique, want to begin and end their season by lifting a European trophy. According to BBC Sport, they are also targeting success across six competitions.

Their opening match is the UEFA Super Cup against Europa League winners Aston Villa in Salzburg on Wednesday at 8pm British Summer Time.

PSG are the two-time defending European champions. They could become the second team to win three consecutive Champions League titles.

Back-to-back European titles

Paris Saint-Germain won their first Champions League title in 2025 after years of failed attempts and billions of pounds in spending.

They beat Inter Milan 5-0 in Munich in 2025 before defeating Arsenal on penalties in Budapest this year.

Before PSG, Real Madrid were the only club in the modern era to retain the title. The Spanish side won three in a row from 2016 to 2018.

The historical precedents

Real Madrid won the first five editions of the European Cup from 1956 to 1960. Ajax and Bayern Munich each recorded three consecutive victories in the 1970s.

Liverpool won three European Cups in five years, taking the trophy in 1977, 1978 and 1981.

Six competitions on the schedule

PSG will enter six competitions, including three decided by one-off finals: the UEFA Super Cup, the Trophée des Champions, the Champions League, Ligue 1, the Coupe de France and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup.

They are presented as favourites in all six. No major club has won six trophies in a single season.

PSG won five trophies last season, matching a record, after collecting four the season before. Their sole failure last season came with a Coupe de France defeat by Paris FC in January.

Excluding PSG, the cited record belongs to Celtic, who won five trophies in 1966-67, including the Glasgow Cup. Several other clubs have won four.
