1996, C2: PSG 1-0 Rapid Vienna

On May 8, 1996, Paris Saint-Germain faced Rapid Vienna, an Austrian club, in the final of the 1995 - 1996 European Cup Winners' Cup. The very first European final in the history of the Parisian club!

After eliminating Molde, Celtic, Parma and its 1994 Ballon d'Or Hristo Stoitchkov, then Deportivo La Coruna in the semi-final, PSG had to outwit Rapid Vienna in the final.

The final... won 1-0 by the Parisians thanks to a now legendary goal, from a free-kick, by defender Bruno Ngotty!

Paris won its first European trophy, the second for French football, three years after OM's victory in the Champions League!

1997, C2: FC Barcelona 1-0 PSG

A season later, who's back in the final of the same competition? Paris Saint-Germain!

PSG does the back-to-back, notably eliminating Liverpool in the semi-final! The Parisians face FC Barcelona in the final of this C2.

Unfortunately for Paris, the Barça of this 1996-1997 season was just too strong. Ronaldo scored the only goal of this final, from a penalty in the first half, thus giving the title to the Catalans.

Starting, in addition to R9, in this final for FC Barcelona were: Pep Guardiola, Luis Figo and... Luis Enrique, the current coach of PSG! Well, well, well...

2020, C1: Bayern Munich 1-0 PSG

After a final phase played in the Final Four format in Portugal due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Paris Saint-Germain qualifies for the very first Champions League final in its history!

Thiago Silva, Angel Di Maria, Neymar, Kylian Mbappé & co finally have the opportunity to win a first star. Led by Thomas Tuchel, the Parisians will come up against a... clinical Bayern Munich.

Manuel Neuer frustrates PSG and Kingsley Coman, trained at the club, scores for the Bavarians.

This will be the only goal of the final. PSG loses 1-0...
