How PSG Toppled European and World Football

The Parisian Revolution gives a game-by-game account of Paris Saint-Germain’s extraordinary journey to the 2024/25 Champions League crown. With analysis of decisive matches and defining moments, and vivid profiles of the key figures behind the triumph, this book reveals how PSG at last joined Europe’s elite.

For years, Paris Saint-Germain were the nearly club of European football. Heartbreak followed heartbreak, billions were spent, and even with arguably the greatest player of all time in their line-up, they had nothing to show for it. Not a single Champions League trophy. Chelsea had done it. Man City had too. So why not PSG? After the club’s ‘bling bling’ era, PSG’s Qatari owners were forced to change strategy. Gone were the days of buying the biggest names and hoping for the best. At last, they had a vision. With former Barcelona boss and Champions League winner Luis Enrique at the helm – and Kylian Mbappe moving to Real Madrid – the club forged a new identity. The Parisian Revolution charts this transformation game by game, revealing how Paris Saint-Germain overcame three Premier League clubs, an Italian giant and the weight of their own history to finally join Europe’s elite.
