In 1970, Paris Saint Germain was founded. For the first time in France, the fans contributed financially to the creation of a soccer club. Bonjour Paris !

2. The most successful club in France

Despite its young age, Paris Saint-Germain Football club holds many records in France. With only 48 years of activity, PSG is already the most successful French team in terms of trophies.

A big surprise?

Not really, investments made all along our history have been huge. Since 2011, Qatari owners are always happy to invest hundreds of millions every year. Last season, Brazilian-star Neymar and French wonderkid Kylian M’bappé were  the biggest signings in Europe. Overall, €400 millions were invested to buy these two players from Barcelona FC and AS Monaco.

No one likes us, we don’t care

Paris fans have a particular chant that they like to sing when they play rival teams. Created by the fans of Millwall FC in England, « No one likes us, we don’t care » is a popular song among soccer clubs that people like to hate.

But why do people hate Paris Saint Germain in France? There are many reasons for that:

1- Arrogance

Paris is not only the capital city, but also the most beautiful city in the world… and Parisians are aware of that.

Even if French people have the reputation of being arrogant and are very proud of their country, it’s nothing compared to Parisians. Believe me, Parisians can have a really bad reputation in France!

The most noticeable cliché is to think that Parisian people consider la « Province » as « the Rest of the country », without differentiating one city from another. No one likes condescension!

2- Money

Such as Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool or Manchester United in England, Paris are owned by foreign investors which make them « less » French than other teams.

In a country where money has always been a controversial topic, PSG often receives a very lukewarm welcome from the French public.

3- Winning is bad

Paris Saint Germain has become the most successful team in France… nobody likes a winner!
