Stadium	Paris Saint Germain were founded in 1970. They played their first home games in the Stade Georges-Lefèvre which had a capacity of 4,500. For their first campaign in Division 1 in 1971-1972, they moved to the Stade de Paris, commonly known as Stade Bauer, which could host more than 23,000. They briefly returned to Stade Georges-Lefèvre until 1974 when they found a new home in the Parc des Princes. Originally inaugurated in 1897, Parc de Princes was frequently renovated over time and it was considered the most important French stadium between 1972 and 1998 as amongst other things it hosted games played by the French National team. While it is without question one of the oldest stadiums in the country, Parc des Princes is now only 5th in terms of capacity. Renovated for the European Championship in 2016, the Parc could host 48,500. New works are due to take place and will lead to a further increase in capacity to 60,000. This development will be completed in time for the Olympic Games in 2024. Since 2014 and based on an agreement for 30 years, the Stadium is under control of the Qatar Sports Investments Fund that owns Paris Saint Germain.
Recent History	Despite a short history and only winning their first silverware (Coupe de France) in the early 1980s, Paris Saint Germain are one of the most successful clubs in the country. They have won 8 French titles, 12 Coupe de France, 8 Coupe de la Ligue and 9 Trophée des Champions. At a European level, they won the Cup Winners’ Cup in 1995-1996, while losing the subsequent final. They reached the Champions League semifinals in 1994-1995 and the UEFA Cup semifinals in 1992-1993. Owned by Canal+, they were most successful between 1991 and 1998, under Denisot’s presidency, but a slow decline began once he passed the club on to Charles Biètry. Things went from bad to worse in 2006 when Canal+ sold the club to the American investment fund Colony Capital. During that period Paris Saint Germain only managed to win a Coupe de France in 2010. In 2011 the club was bought by the Qatar Investment Authority fund and with that they became a French footballing super-power. They have won everything domestically including the quadruple (Ligue 1, Coupe de France, Coupe de la Ligue and Trophée des Champions) some 3 times in 2015, 2016 and 2018. Crucially they have failed to reach the same heights in Europe and it will be at this level that PSG will continue to be judged. This is particularly the case given the amounts invested in the club and the players that they have at their disposal.

PSG have been embroiled in a difficult summer of transition. Luis Enrique’s side have finally seen the departure of superstar player Kylian Mbappe, who they have yet to seriously replace in an attacking capacity at Parc des Princes. To complicate matters even more for Les Parisiens, they have lost a huge number of players to Euro 2024 and the Copa America, meaning that a huge number of their regular stars have been bereft of a proper pre-season. Combine this with a slow performance in the transfer market and it means that PSG are unlikely to hit the ground running. Defence was a particular problem last season. Not only did goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma look thoroughly uncomfortable with the ball at his feet – something Luis Enrique wants – there was little solidarity in the centre-back area. Willian Pacho’s arrival from Frankfurt should help solve that problem to some extent, yet a lack of depth in the heart of the rearguard due to Presnel Kimpembe’s ongoing injury issues, Balerdi’s sheer rawness and Milan Skriniar’s lack of form is a concern. In midfield, PSG at least look a complete unit and actually have some depth in this sector of the team. Joao Neves is the big addition here, offering the type of tone-setting midfielder they did not have last season. Manuel Ugarte may yet leave but even if this is the case, there will be a strong and apparently well-balanced group of five to six players, perhaps lacking only a genuine No.10, which Xavi Simons could have been had he not forced another loan move. Options out wide are plentiful, especially with 16-year-old ___ shining in pre-season, yet there are concerns over PSG’s efficiency in the big games. They were overly reliant on Mbappe last season, but perhaps his absence could actually help Goncalo Ramos get the consistent game time he needs to prove himself.
