Paris Saint-Germain prepares for Champions League three-peat attempt
Summary

Paris Saint-Germain begins its pursuit of a third consecutive Champions League title following successful campaigns in 2025 and 2026. Coach Luis Enrique remains at the helm after signing a contract extension through 2030. The team enters the current tournament cycle after a shortened offseason, having managed high fixture volume over the previous two years. Squad changes include the departure of Bradley Barcola, Goncalo Ramos, Lee Kang-in, and Ibrahim Mbaye, alongside the arrival of Maghnes Akliouche and Ferran Torres. PSG opens its European schedule against Slovan Bratislava before facing Manchester City and Barcelona in October. While the club maintains a dominant position in Ligue 1, team leadership recognizes the difficulty of securing an unprecedented third straight European trophy under the tournament's current format.
