Signs of a new era

The era of the galactic Galactiques is over in Paris. PSG's new project is built on a different foundation — a young, technically elite core, a pressing identity and a sporting director who speaks in metrics.

The rebuild has not come without friction, but the results are hard to argue with: the league's best defensive record and a Champions League run that has re-established the club as a genuine contender.
