The symbolism could hardly be better. Just days around its 56th anniversary, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Aston Villa 2-1 in the UEFA Super Cup, taking its impressive trophy haul to 61. Since the club was founded in 1970, the French capital side has never enjoyed as much success as it has in recent years.
PSG celebrated its 56th birthday with another trophy in its hands. After beating Aston Villa in Salzburg, Paris added a second UEFA Super Cup to its honours list and has now reached a total of 61 official trophies.
PSG Reaches 61 Trophies
It marks another milestone in the history of a club that has grown considerably, particularly on the international stage. PSG’s honours list now includes two Champions League titles, two UEFA Super Cups, one Cup Winners’ Cup, one Intertoto Cup, one Intercontinental Cup, 14 Ligue 1 titles, 16 Coupe de France trophies, 14 Trophées des Champions, nine Coupe de la Ligue titles and one Ligue 2 championship. That brings the total to 61 trophies since the club’s creation in 1970.

The biggest change has come in Europe. After winning the Cup Winners’ Cup and Intertoto Cup in the 1990s, PSG had to wait before enjoying another golden period on the continental stage. With two Champions League trophies, two UEFA Super Cups and an Intercontinental Cup now added to its collection, Paris has significantly strengthened its international record. The victory over Aston Villa confirms a new reality: PSG no longer simply want to take part in Europe’s biggest occasions, but to win them regularly.
This latest triumph therefore arrives at the perfect time to mark the club’s 56th anniversary. And PSG’s ambitions suggest the trophy count could rise again very quickly. Luis Enrique and his players repeated the same message after the Super Cup: keep winning. With 61 trophies in 56 years of existence, Paris now intends to write the next chapters of its history at an even faster pace.
