## Key points

- Paris FC beat Monaco 3-1 as their rise gathered pace.
- LVMH’s Arnault family backs the club’s European ambitions.
- Lassine Sinayoko has contributed to 13 of their 16 goals.

## Summary

Paris FC have risen from France’s amateur third tier to become an ambitious Ligue 1 side, backed by the Arnault family, owners of LVMH, and led by manager Liam Rosenior. Their 3-1 win over Monaco, in Pierre Ferracci’s final match as president, underlined the club’s progress and its aim to challenge for prominence in France and Europe.

The Arnaults bought a majority stake in 2024, while Ferracci is now stepping back after helping build the club over two decades. New signings have strengthened Rosenior’s squad, with Lassine Sinayoko involved in 13 of the team’s 16 league goals this season. Paris FC are also benefiting from rivals’ uncertain form, though the article presents their European ambitions as a long-term goal.
