The Champions League title was won for the first time in 2024–25, which Qatar-owned PSG referred to as "a historic season on both sports and economic fronts" in a statement presenting their yearly financial results.

The club, which was acquired by Qatar Sports Investments (QSI) in 2011, reported that matchday revenue, which includes ticket sales and hospitality, reached 175 million euros, while commercial revenue alone reached 367 million euros.

Compared to the previous season, when Real Madrid became the first club to earn one billion euros in a single season, the total turnover was marginally higher at 806 million euros.

In the Deloitte Football Money League, which ranks clubs' financial strength, PSG came in third place for the 2023–2024 season, behind only Manchester City and Real Madrid, whose income at that time was 837.8 million euros.

PSG added that turnover in 2011—just before the Qatari takeover—was 99 million euros. "This performance shows the maturity of the project since the arrival of its main shareholder QSI, and confirms the solidity of the club's economic model, now among the most successful in the world," the club said.

Expanding the brand


"Paris Saint-Germain's valuation and investor interest have grown exponentially since QSI's first acquisition in 2011, indicating the club's transition into one of the most valuable and important sports brands in the world."

Following the exits of superstars Kylian Mbappe, Neymar, and Lionel Messi in 2023 and 2024, the amount spent on player salaries has also drastically fallen. According to PSG, the percentage of turnover spent on wages has decreased from 111 per cent to less than 65 per cent.

However, the financial environment of French football and the small size of their stadium seem to hinder PSG's ability to expand further.

The French champions' run to the Club World Cup final and Champions League victory brought them enormous prize money, but after their local TV agreement fell through, Ligue 1's broadcasting revenue has decreased.

The team is looking for measures to boost matchday revenue, like as moving from their historic home at Parc des Princes, which can hold 48,000 people.

Larger stadiums are used for games between major continental rivals like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Liverpool, and Arsenal. Barcelona will soon return to their Camp Nou home, where capacity will be 105,000 when renovations are completed.

"We can play at a smaller venue and yet compete with the biggest clubs in Europe. To continue expanding, we must innovate," PSG stated.

In order to relocate to a larger location far out in the Paris suburbs, they are currently thinking about abandoning their municipally owned home. Two locations are being considered: one in Massy, which is to the south, and another in Poissy, which is to the northwest, where the club recently constructed a new training facility.

YOUTH RISING: NDJANTOU & DOUé GOALS SECURE PSG'S LIGUE 1 WINTER TOP SPOT

PSG Secures Crucial 3-2 Victory Before Winter Break

Paris wrapped up their last league game of the year with a tight 3-2 victory over Metz, who sit at the bottom of the league. This win puts them at the top of Ligue 1 as they await Lens' game.

Goncalo Ramos and Quentin Ndjantou gave PSG a 2-0 lead. But Metz's Jessy Deminguet cut the lead in half just before halftime with a nice shot from outside the box.

After the break, PSG's Desire Doue scored, making it 3-1. Giorgi Tsitaishvili of Metz then fired in a rocket in the 81st minute to bring the score to 3-2, setting up a tense finish.

PSG's coach, Luis Enrique, missed Ousmane Dembele, Achraf Hakimi, and Marquinhos due to injuries. Yet, young wingers Ibrahim Mbaye (17) and Ndjantou (18) showed their potential.

Mbaye and Ndjantou teamed up for PSG's second goal. Mbaye got past his defender and sent in a low cross from the left, which Ndjantou turned into his first senior goal.

Doue, who came on at halftime after recovering from a hamstring injury, scored a goal against Metz's goalie, Jonathan Fischer.

Mbaye almost scored but was stopped by the crossbar. Doue's attempt after that was saved.

Tsitaishvili's late goal was a highlight, but PSG managed to hold on for the win.

Lens can take back the top spot in Ligue 1 if they beat Nice on Sunday. Metz stays at the bottom of the league with 11 points after 16 games.

PRESSURE ON LENS: LUIS ENRIQUE'S PSG TARGETS WIN AGAINST METZ TO RECLAIM LIGUE 1 TOP SPOT

Luis Enrique's PSG has been defined by constant changes and fitness issues. The match against last-place Metz is a chance to build confidence before the winter break.

Can PSG Fix Scoring Issues Against Metz Before the Break?

PSG's form has been a bit up and down lately. After a big win against Rennes last weekend, they had a frustrating 0-0 draw at Bilbao midweek. They made chances but could not score.

PSG wants to beat Metz and get closer to Lens in the standings. This isn't the first time people have questioned PSG's scoring, with chances missed in both the league and Champions League. Tonight's game against last-place Metz looks like a good chance to fix that.

Regardless of today's result, Luis Enrique's team could end the week in second place. Lens, who are one point ahead, play Nice at home tomorrow, which is one to watch for Luis Enrique.

This is PSG’s final league match before the winter break. It's been a strange season for the defending champions. At times, they've looked great, easily beating teams, especially in the Champions League, where Bayer Leverkusen and Tottenham suffered, and the win against Barcelona was important.

Still, it’s been a tough season so far. Key attackers haven't been consistently fit, and fullbacks and midfielders have also been injured. Goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier was dropped for backup Matvei Safonov due to inconsistent form.

Besides injuries and bad luck, there's been a lack of consistency. The starting lineup often changes, with players like Gonçalo Ramos and Bradley Barcola sometimes left out for younger players.

Some fans think that once everyone is healthy, many of the team's problems will go away. PSG is doing well enough in the Champions League to almost guarantee advancement, but they are certainly not happy with their league results.

PSG will look at tonight’s game against Metz as a chance to gain confidence before the break, bring back players (Ousmane Dembélé and Desiré Doué might play), and put pressure on Lens before their game tomorrow. This season could still turn out to be something special for PSG.
