Champions Trophy Gets Its Own Seat: PSJ Reserves a Spot on the Plane for the Prize

PSG’s Champions League Success Story

According to Главком: After securing back-to-back Champions League titles, Paris Saint-Germain has made sure the trophy travels in style-by booking a separate seat for it on the team plane. Captain Marquinhos placed the cup in a chair and fastened its seatbelt, underscoring how much this achievement means to the club. In a season where PSG collected five trophies, their dominance both domestically and internationally is undeniable.

Team Achievements

This season, PSG claimed the Ligue 1 title and also won:

• French Super Cup
• UEFA Super Cup
• FIFA Intercontinental Cup
• Champions League

The Champions League final saw PSG face Arsenal, who took an early lead thanks to striker Kai Havertz. PSG fought back midway through the second half when forward Ousmane Dembélé converted a penalty kick. The match eventually went to a shootout, where PSG missed once-defender Nuno Mendes failed to beat the opposing goalkeeper. Arsenal, meanwhile, saw midfielder Eberechi Eze and center-back Gabriel both miss the target.

PSG center-back Illia Zabarnyi became the fourth Ukrainian to win the Champions League. Previous Ukrainian winners include goalkeeper Andriy Lunin, midfielder Anatoliy Tymoshchuk, and striker Andriy Shevchenko. Lunin won the trophy twice with Real Madrid, Tymoshchuk with Bayern Munich, and Shevchenko with AC Milan. Zabarnyi played 15 minutes of extra time in the final but did not take a penalty in the shootout.

PSG has also been in contact with Federico Valverde’s camp, hinting at possible transfer moves in the future.

Winning the Champions League two years in a row highlights PSG’s success both at home and abroad, cementing their status among Europe’s elite football clubs.

The success of Ukrainian player Illia Zabarnyi also reflects the growing presence of Ukrainians in global football, which is likely to inspire young players in Ukraine to aim high. With active transfer plans, PSG is looking to strengthen the squad to maintain its dominant position in the coming seasons.

In the midst of PSG's remarkable achievements, off-field moments also captured attention, such as the recent incident involving the goalkeeper's wife displaying a Russian flag during the celebrations. This event sparked discussions about the implications of such gestures in the context of international football. To explore this incident and its impact further, read more about it here.
