Back-to-back European champions
Your team did it again. PSG beat Arsenal on penalties in Budapest last Saturday, winning the Champions League final 1–1 (4–3 on penalties) to claim a second straight European crown (1). Nuno Mendes, Vitinha, João Neves, and Gonçalo Ramos, the Portuguese quartet, all played key roles in the triumph and now head into international duty riding the high of club glory (1). Marquinhos lifted the trophy alongside president Nasser Al-Khelaifi, and the celebrations spilled onto the Champ-de-Mars with tens of thousands of supporters turning out for the parade at the Eiffel Tower.
Batrakov emerges as priority target
The mercato is already moving. PSG have identified Alexei Batrakov as a hot target and are accelerating early in the window to get the deal done (2). No fee or timeline is confirmed yet, but the club is clearly wasting no time after the final, you go into the summer as Europe's benchmark, and the recruitment machine is already turning.
Fan reactions
The subreddit is buzzing with the absurd stat of the week: João Neves, Désiré Doué, and Willian Pacho have each played in the Champions League exactly twice, and won it both times. Meanwhile, talk is turning to the squad's future, with speculation swirling around Gonçalo Ramos potentially leaving and a fresh rumor linking 19-year-old left-back Jorge Salinas to the club.
