Paris Saint-Germain established itself as a major force in France, and one of the majors forces of the European football in the recent years. PSG has won a total of 34 trophies, making it the most successful French club in history by this measure. PSG is also the only club to have never been relegated from Ligue 1, one of only two French clubs to have won a major European title, the most popular football club in France and one of the most widely supported teams in the world.

Domestically, the Parisians hold many records, having won six Ligue 1 titles, including four back-to-back, as well as a record eleven Coupe de France, a record seven Coupe de la Ligue, and a record seven Trophée des Champions titles.
