PSG has faced numerous difficulties in the new season, following a sensational performance last season, during which they won everything possible in football. The only failure of last season was that they missed out on their first global trophy after a 3–0 defeat to Chelsea in the Club World Cup final. Luis Enrique’s men enter this encounter on a three-match unbeaten run across all competitions, currently second placed in the league, with a point behind current league leaders, Lens. 

In the UEFA Champions League, PSG have only lost a game, and they are positioned for a qualification to the knockout rounds in a bid to defend their illustrious Champions League trophy. Bradley Barcola leads the teams on goals in the league, with five goals to his name this season. This final represents more than just another trophy. For PSG, it is a chance to reinforce their status as a global sensation and prove they can dominate beyond Europe.
