After a sensational 2024–2025 campaign, PSG now faces a new challenge: starting from scratch after winning nearly everything.
The numbers speak for themselves. With 65 matches played across all competitions, Paris Saint-Germain just completed the most intense season in European football history: Ligue 1, national cups, Champions League, and the Club World Cup. The result? A historic quadruple — only blemished by a 3-0 loss to Chelsea in the Club World Cup final.
Now, after just three weeks off, the squad is already back. Medical tests begin Wednesday, followed by training and a high-stakes UEFA Super Cup showdown against Tottenham on August 13.

The Mental Toll Behind the Trophies
Luis Enrique managed to keep his squad fresh thanks to smart rotations and a deep bench. But sport psychologist Cédric Quignon-Fleuret warns in Le Parisien: “No one is immune to burnout, no matter how good the recovery tools are.”
Still, this PSG is no longer reliant on a single superstar. It’s a mentally strong unit, structured and interchangeable — a modern powerhouse.
Coach Luka Elsner adds: “They now have a shot at becoming a legendary generation — the kind we still talk about 50 years from now.”
Luis Enrique’s New Mission
Having taken PSG to the top of Europe, Luis Enrique now faces his toughest opponent yet: fatigue — physical and mental.
Can he keep the hunger alive? That will be the key to sustaining success.
The season ahead promises fireworks — but for Paris, the real battle might be managing the fallout of greatness.
