Where do PSG rank among Europe's greatest dynasties?

What the report says

BBC Sport Football reports that Paris St-Germain are being discussed as a potential European dynasty as they open a new Champions League campaign. The article is framed as a ranking of the most dominant eras in European club football, with PSG placed 10th on the list as the current holders and a side chasing a third consecutive continental crown.

The piece says PSG’s rise has been tied to investment since Qatar Sports Investments arrived 15 years ago, but argues the club’s European breakthrough came after a shift in approach under coach Luis Enrique, who arrived in 2023. Instead of the earlier “galactico” style, the team has been built more around younger players and a clearer collective structure, according to the report. BBC Sport says that change helped deliver two Champions League titles.

The article then compares PSG with earlier great sides, including Inter Milan, Benfica, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, AC Milan and Liverpool, highlighting how dynasties in Europe have been built through tactical identity, strong squads and repeated success across several seasons. It places PSG alongside those clubs while noting that their place in history is still developing.

The broader context is that European club football’s top prize has long been used to judge dynasties, and PSG’s current run is being measured against some of the sport’s most dominant teams.
