Can PSG do a three-peat and win six trophies this season?
Paris St-Germain begin their campaign against Aston Villa in the Uefa Super Cup aiming to extend an unprecedented run of success. Having won the past two Champions Leagues, they could become only the second team to claim three consecutive titles, matching Real Madrid’s 2016-18 achievement, while also pursuing an unmatched six-trophy season.
PSG will compete in six competitions, including Ligue 1, the Champions League and three one-off finals, after winning five trophies last season. Their preparations may be affected by 16 players’ World Cup involvement and a short break before the Super Cup, though most of the core squad remains intact; new arrivals include Maghnes Akliouche, Lucas Digne and goalkeeper Alessandro Longoni.
- PSG pursue a third straight Champions League title.
- Six trophies in one season would be unprecedented.
- World Cup fatigue could hinder their early form.
Both sides, in good faith
The strongest fair case each way — we don't pick a winner.
The case for
PSG have established themselves as European football's dominant force through winning consecutive Champions Leagues and securing five trophies last season, demonstrating both the quality and winning mentality required for such an ambitious pursuit. With most of their core squad remaining intact and the opportunity to compete across six competitions, they possess the depth of talent and competitive experience that could plausibly support an attempt at six trophies.
The case against
Winning six trophies in a single season has never been achieved and represents an unprecedented challenge that tests the practical limits of squad management and human performance. The fatigue arising from 16 players' World Cup involvement, combined with limited recovery time before the Super Cup and the competing demands of six concurrent competitions, creates substantial obstacles that suggest even the finest squads struggle to maintain the consistency necessary to succeed across all fronts.
