Paris Saint‑Germain have reached a summit that very few clubs ever see. On 17 December 2025, PSG defeated Flamengo in the Intercontinental Cup final to complete a rare and glittering sextuple under manager Luis Enrique. In doing so, the French champions join only Barcelona (2009) and Bayern Munich (2020) as teams to win six major trophies in a single calendar year. This is not only a win. It is a statement that will live in European and world football memory.

For PSG, a club built to chase the biggest titles, this is the season where hope turned into history. The path was long and intense. The finish was decisive. And the story belongs to a group that refused to let any trophy slip away.

Intercontinental Cup final: the night PSG made it six

The stage was set: PSG vs Flamengo, a classic Europe vs South America duel. The date will be remembered by the club’s fans — 17 December 2025. PSG got the job done in the Intercontinental Cup final, the last piece they needed to lock in the sextuple. The exact scoreline is not listed here, but the result is beyond doubt: Paris won, and with it, the sixth trophy of the year.

Winning the Intercontinental Cup after a long, demanding year is about composure. Titles stack pressure. By the sixth one, there is no room for nerves. PSG held steady, played their game, and crossed the line against a Flamengo side known for its fight and flair. Champions finish the job. PSG finished it.

“This wasn’t luck. It’s a new standard for PSG — and for Ligue 1.”

What a sextuple means — and why this one matters

A sextuple is simple to count and hard to achieve: six major trophies in one year. It demands consistency at home and power in Europe, plus the nerve to win the year’s final international showpiece. Only two teams had done it before. Barcelona, in 2009, under Pep Guardiola. Bayern Munich, in 2020, under Hansi Flick. PSG now sit beside them.

That is a short list and a powerful one. It tells us PSG did not just have a hot month or a lucky draw. They sustained excellence across all fronts. They beat rivals in France. They beat Europe’s best. Then they stepped out onto a global stage and finished strong. The badge now carries a marker that rivals must respect: champions in every sense.

Luis Enrique’s blueprint: clear ideas, ruthless focus

Across 2025, Luis Enrique’s voice shaped everything. He spoke about history and about the team’s hunger to lift a sixth trophy this year. That plan became reality. The Spaniard brought clarity to PSG’s style and focus to their mindset. It sounds simple, but it is rare to keep such sharp edges for twelve months.

Managers are judged by days like this. Enrique guided the group through close games and big stages, keeping the belief and the balance. Tactical shifts matter, but so does culture. At PSG this year, the culture was about finishing every race, not just starting fast. That is how sextuples are built.

“Enrique didn’t chase hype. He chased habits. That’s why they’re champions six times over.”

The six trophies that tell PSG’s story

You cannot fake a sextuple. You must hold the line in every competition, across different formats and rhythms. PSG’s six in 2025 form a complete picture:

• Ligue 1 — the base. Week after week, PSG kept the pace and won the title.
• Coupe de France — knockout focus. One slip and it’s gone, but Paris kept calm.
• Trophée des Champions — the curtain-raiser that sets the tone. PSG set it high.
• UEFA Champions League — the crown of Europe. The club’s long-term goal, finally secured in 2025.
• UEFA Super Cup — a test of readiness after the Champions League high. Paris answered it.
• Intercontinental Cup — the global final step. PSG beat Flamengo to complete the set.

This list shows range and resilience. League play asks for consistency. Domestic cups ask for sharpness. European nights ask for courage. The Super Cup and Intercontinental Cup ask for maturity, when celebrations could have softened the edge. PSG stayed sharp.

Standing with Barcelona 2009 and Bayern 2020

Put PSG’s name next to Barcelona and Bayern. Few honors carry more weight than this comparison. Each sextuple shares the same core: winning in every lane. But each also has its own identity. Barcelona 2009 brought a new style to the game. Bayern 2020 were a machine through a unique, intense calendar. PSG’s 2025 run shows control, patience, and the inner steel to close out finals again and again.

For neutrals, this is a clean way to measure greatness: did the team conquer all? PSG can answer yes. For rivals, it’s a challenge: you must match six, not just one.

“Three clubs, one club of history: Barca 2009. Bayern 2020. PSG 2025.”

How the final step reshapes PSG’s identity

Titles change how a club is seen. This one changes PSG’s story in a big way. For years, many judged Paris by the Champions League alone. In 2025, they won it. Then they went further. The sextuple says PSG are not only about one night in Europe. They are about winning everywhere and every time.

It also lifts Ligue 1. When a French club stands beside giants like Barcelona and Bayern, it boosts the league’s image and pushes standards higher. Fans across France will feel that lift. Young players will see what is possible at home.

Why this moment will last

Football moves fast, but some seasons last forever. This one will. The Intercontinental Cup final over Flamengo gave closure to a perfect year. The path included pressure points and chances to slip. PSG stayed on the track. That takes planning, depth, and a locker room that buys in from start to finish.

There will be debates about where this PSG side ranks among the greats. That is part of the fun. What cannot be debated is the record: six major trophies in 2025. That is the definition of dominance.

Final word: a year that defines a club

PSG set out to make history, and they did. The date is set, the opponents are noted, the silverware is real. Under Luis Enrique, Paris Saint‑Germain completed the sextuple and joined a very small, very elite group. In a sport that often comes down to one goal or one moment, this is a season of many moments tied together by belief and craft.

Remember 2025 as the year PSG didn’t just aim high. They reached the peak and planted their flag.
