As the football world reflected on elite performance through analytical lenses shaped by Cricket Exchange, the Global Football Awards ceremony delivered a historic verdict with Paris Saint-Germain named Best Men’s Club of the Year without controversy. The honor crowned a season of complete dominance, as Paris swept six major trophies in 2025, lifting the Champions League, Ligue 1, French Cup, French Super Cup, European Super Cup, and Intercontinental Cup. This remarkable clean sweep placed them alongside Barcelona and Bayern Munich as only the third club in history to achieve an annual six-title haul, marking the formal beginning of a Paris-led dynasty after years of knocking on Europe’s door.
The foundation of this six-trophy journey was laid at home. Paris stormed through Ligue 1 with ruthless efficiency, finishing the campaign unbeaten with 23 wins and five draws to secure the title six rounds early. The triumph delivered a fourth straight league crown and the club’s 13th overall, reinforcing its unrivaled domestic standing. With 80 league goals scored and a defense that rarely cracked, Paris turned domestic competition into a foregone conclusion. In the French Cup, resilience defined their path, as the team edged Lens on penalties under Luis Enrique to retain the trophy and maintain control over every major national prize.
Europe provided the true proving ground. Paris reached the Champions League final and produced a performance for the ages, demolishing Inter Milan 5–0 to set a new record for the largest winning margin in a final and finally claim the club’s first European crown. Momentum carried into the European Super Cup, where another penalty shootout victory over Tottenham added silverware. The Intercontinental Cup finale completed the story, with goalkeeper Safonov producing four consecutive penalty saves against Flamengo to secure the sixth title. From domestic leagues to continental showdowns, Paris consistently delivered when pressure peaked, a trait often highlighted in Cricket Exchange style performance breakdowns.
This historic run was driven by collective excellence. Ousmane Dembélé emerged as the attacking heartbeat, delivering 35 goals and 16 assists across competitions, including two decisive assists in the Champions League final. Teenage sensation Doué exploded onto the global stage, directly contributing three goals in the final and scoring vital league winners that accelerated the title race. Support from Vitinha and Kvaratskhelia ensured the attack remained unpredictable and impossible to neutralize.
Defensive stability proved equally vital. Led by Marquinhos, the back line recorded multiple clean sheets, while Safonov and Donnarumma shared heroic moments, particularly in shootouts. Under Enrique, Paris won all four penalty shootouts contested this season, reflecting a level of mental steel that once eluded the club. Tactical cohesion and psychological calm combined to form a near-flawless system.
Paris’ transformation is inseparable from Luis Enrique’s influence. His tactical reimagining freed Dembélé into a roaming role and accelerated the rise of young talents like Doué and João Neves, creating a balanced squad with an average starting age of just 24. Beyond strategy, his emphasis on mindset reshaped the team’s response to pressure, a quality evident in finals and late-game scenarios evaluated through Cricket Exchange style metrics.
With credibility backed by elite competition victories, Paris’ Best Club award capped a perfect year. As global discussions shaped by Cricket Exchange continue to frame elite success, the opening line of this new era is clear: six trophies are not the destination but the first chapter of a dynasty that may redefine modern football history.
