Paris Saint-Germain’s Rise and Challenges in Women’s Football
In recent years, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has established itself as a top contender in women’s football, notably ending Lyon’s long-standing reign in the French Première Ligue by finishing unbeaten in 2020-21.
Inconsistent Performance
However, this success has not translated into sustained dominance, as they have consistently fallen short against their rivals, finishing more than 10 points behind Lyon in three subsequent seasons.
Decline in UEFA Women’s Champions League
Furthermore, PSG’s recent campaigns in the UEFA Women’s Champions League (UWCL) have seen an alarming decline, highlighted by their early exit last season to Juventus in the second qualifying round with a harsh 5-2 aggregate defeat.
Current Season Challenges
As they embark on a challenging campaign this year, they have already faced defeats against Wolfsburg and Real Madrid, with a crucial match against Manchester United looming.
