Club Profile
Paris Saint-Germain
The first thing you might not know about PSG is that they were only founded in 1970. They were a normal, fairly successful domestic club for about 40 years but they reached another level after Qatari owners took over the club in 2011, making them one of the wealthiest clubs in the world.
Since then, they have won seven league titles and 18 domestic cups, meaning that at this point they are assumed to dominate domestically, and each season really seems to come down to how they do in Europe.
With their red, white, and blue uniforms, a big stadium in the capital city, and the Eiffel Tower in their crest, Paris Saint-Germain appear to the outside world to be the only team in France. That is, of course, not true, but they are currently and by far the biggest and most glamorous outfit in the country.

Stadium
The 48,000-seat Parc des Princes is actually the third stadium built on the site since 1903. It is a two-tiered oval originally designed with rugby in mind, which has led to the seats behind the goal being farther away from the field than in many football-specific stadiums. The exterior of the stadium, with its vertical ribs, is a landmark in the…
