In this article, 1xBet examines Paris Saint-Germain’s historic 2025–26 season, exploring how Luis Enrique’s tactical approach, collective effort, resilience in decisive matches, and support from fans helped the club secure five trophies and earn recognition as Men’s Club of the Year.
What makes a football club the best? The number of superstars in the squad, high-profile transfers, or a collection of titles? The 2025–26 season showed that there is more to true greatness than that. Paris Saint-Germain won five trophies, reached the pinnacle of European football for the second consecutive year, and was named the men’s club of the year. The statistics merely reflect the scale of the club’s achievements – to understand the reason behind them, one needs to take a closer look at how the team of champions is organized.
Football in which everyone matters
The main architect of this breakthrough is Luis Enrique. The Spanish coach completely rebuilt the team’s DNA, freeing it from its reliance on big names. In the 2025–26 season, PSG looked like a well-oiled machine, putting pressure on its opponents from the front line, with absolutely every player covering for one another. The ball moved across European pitches at such speed that opposition defenses fell apart.
Every episode requires movement and understanding, which take years to develop – but not for the Parisians. Full-backs Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes drive attacks down the flanks, adding variety up front, while midfielders Vitinha and Fabián Ruiz help break through the press and launch attacks from their own half. Ousmane Dembélé and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia make runs into the half-spaces and swap positions, giving the opposition no time to catch their breath. That is why PSG are so adept at maintaining pressure even against the strongest teams, who know how to close down space.
Resilience in big games
The decisive stretch of the European Champions League knockout phase epitomized the team’s winning mentality. The path to defending their title demanded that the Red-and-Blues demonstrate both attacking prowess and the ability to withstand pressure. In the quarter-finals, the Parisians beat Liverpool twice without conceding a single goal (4-0 on aggregate). This was followed by a clash with Bayern Munich, which can rightfully be considered the most spectacular event of last year’s European campaign. A goal fest (6-5 on aggregate), maximum speed, and football of the highest caliber, from which Luis Enrique’s men emerged victorious.
The final against Arsenal was the highlight of the entire season. After conceding an early goal, the Parisians pressed hard, coming close to scoring time and again, and eventually found the net. Even the Gunners’ rock-solid defense couldn’t hold out against the French champions – Ousmane Dembélé equalized from the spot (1-1). Extra time followed, and the title was decided by a penalty shoot-out, in which PSG were more clinical and won 4-3.
Victory shared by thousands
These five trophies are down not only to the head coach’s decisions and the players’ skill, but also to the people in the stands. The fans’ support accompanies the team in Paris at their home ground, Parc des Princes, and in away matches. Spectacular victories become shared memories that unite generations of fans, while bitter defeats bring the great Parisian family closer together.
Top football would be impossible without the atmosphere created by the crowd in the stands. The team’s global partner, 1xBet, has been supporting the Parisian club for several seasons, sharing with the fans the excitement of every victory and the tension of the biggest matches of the year.
Final is just another beginning
Being recognized as the leading men’s club of the year is a comprehensive assessment of all the work that has been done, in which tactics are backed up by fighting spirit, individual skill by team discipline, and ambition by results. Paris has added yet another golden chapter to its football history, and has certainly no intention of stopping there.
