The Parisian team faces a new year full of challenges, starting with the French Super Cup final on January 5.
Paris Saint-Germain bids farewell to 2024 and looks ahead to a 2025 packed with challenges, aiming to secure as many trophies as possible. The journey begins right at the start of the year.
First Challenge: French Super Cup

Maintaining Dominance in Ligue 1
One week after the French Super Cup final, PSG will resume Ligue 1 action against Saint-Étienne, a match you can watch live on beIN SPORTS.
PSG remains the commanding leader in the domestic league, holding a 10-point advantage over second-placed Olympique de Marseille, although with one more game played. The team will look to maintain its strong form and secure another Ligue 1 title.
Bouncing Back in the French Cup
Following a nail-biting penalty shootout victory over Lens in their French Cup debut on December 22, PSG now faces Espaly on January 15 for a place in the Round of 16. Despite the early scare, the Parisians remain determined to add the prestigious trophy to their cabinet.
Champions League: The Ultimate Test
The UEFA Champions League stands as PSG's greatest challenge in early 2025. Currently, the team sits outside the playoff spots in the group stage standings under the new format.
With the top eight earning direct qualification and places 9 to 24 entering playoffs, PSG is precariously positioned in 25th place. Two crucial games in January will determine their fate:
- Manchester City (January 22): Guardiola’s side is just one point ahead of PSG, making this a must-win battle against a direct rival.
- Stuttgart (January 29): The German club, tied with PSG on points but a position lower, presents another direct confrontation for playoff hopes.
PSG needs strong performances in both matches to stay alive in the Champions League—still the ultimate prize for the club.
As 2025 begins, PSG embarks on a journey filled with high-stakes matches and significant ambitions, determined to overcome every hurdle in its path to glory.
