This Wednesday evening, Paris Saint-Germain faces Tottenham in the fifth matchday of the Champions League group stage. This match at the Parc des Princes allows PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi to break a record previously held by his former Lyon counterpart, Jean-Michel Aulas.
“Nasser Al-Khelaïfi (137 matches with PSG) becomes the president with the most appearances for a French club in the Champions League, surpassing Jean-Michel Aulas (136 with Lyon).”
This record is a reminder of Al-Khelaïfi’s long tenure at PSG and the club’s established habit of competing in this competition. And, often, progressing. Even if there have been campaigns we would have liked to see go further. It’s also worth noting that it’s reminiscent of Aulas’s long presidency, with some truly great periods, as it took time for the Parisian executive to achieve this record. Which should now stand for some time.
