Paris St-Germain showed everyone that they are one of European football’s greatest ever teams by winning the Champions League two years in a row. They beat Arsenal 4-3 in penalties after the game was tied 1-1 in Budapest, this was a deal because they also beat Inter Milan 5-0 in Munich the year before.
Paris St-Germain is the next team to win the Champions League two years in a row since Real Madrid did it from 2016 to 2018. They are the second team to do this since the Champions League started in 1993. If we look at the history of the competition, which is 71 years Paris St-Germain is just the tenth team to win the title two years in a row.
The coach of Paris St-Germain, Luis Enrique said “he had the feelings, and he was excited and tired at the time. This is the best moment of the season, where they are crown the champions. We won two years in a row, which is amazing.”
All the players who started the game against Arsenal also started the game against Inter Milan except for the goalkeeper Matvey Safonov. He replaced Gianluigi Donnarumma, who now plays for Manchester City.
Over the two years Paris St-Germain has done very well in almost all the competitions they played in, they won eight out of ten trophies which is a great deal, and the only trophies they did not win were the Club World Cup and the French Cup.
As it stands, if Paris St-Germain keeps playing with the current form, they might win the Champions League three years in a row, which would be a big achievement. A few teams have done this before, so they still have a long way to go to beat the record of Real Madrid, who won the European Cup five years in a row from 1956 to 1960.
Julien Laurens, a journalist who writes about football said on the radio “Tonight Paris St-Germain made history. This years win was special but I think they will enjoy this one more because they had to work hard and come back from, behind. Last year’s win was easy but this one was harder and that makes it more satisfying. By winning two years in a row Paris St-Germain joins the list of the teams of all time.”
