Paris Saint-Germain are the European champions once again, and they celebrated the title in style. The French club brought the UEFA Champions League trophy home in style on Sunday, parading through the streets of the French capital after securing their second consecutive European title.
Watch: Luis Enrique and PSG celebrate back-to-back Champions League glory in title parade in Paris
Led by manager Luis Enrique, the PSG squad was greeted by thousands of ecstatic fans near the Eiffel Tower at the Champ de Mars. Players, including captain Marquinhos, lifted the iconic trophy from an open-top bus as club anthems blared and fireworks lit up the sky. The celebration continued with a presidential reception at the Élysée Palace and a public event at the Parc des Princes.
The triumph came after a dramatic final in Budapest on May 30, where PSG defeated Arsenal 4-3 on penalties following a 1-1 draw after extra time. Kai Havertz gave Arsenal an early lead, but Ousmane Dembélé equalized from the penalty spot. The shootout proved decisive, with Arsenal missing key kicks to hand PSG the crown.
Enrique, now a three-time Champions League-winning coach, has transformed the team into a dominant force in Europe. The back-to-back success marks a historic milestone for the Qatari-backed club, which had long chased continental glory.
