On Sunday evening, Paris Saint-Germain lost 3-0 to Chelsea in the final of the 2025 World Cup. It was a painful end to the season, but it doesn’t take away from what has been achieved over the course of the season. Nor does it prevent Paris from pocketing a handsome sum for its run in this competition.
“PSG pocketed around 92 million euros at the end of the Club World Cup.”
92 million euros is a very nice addition to the coffers. If we’d won yesterday, we’d have had an extra 30 million, in addition to the trophy and the glory. It’s a shame, but not dramatic. You also have to know how to lose, and this season has been exceptional. Winning the Champions League will go down in history.
Yesterday’s defeat, painful as it was, shouldn’t make us forget what we’ve achieved. In fact, it’s a match that further underlines just how extraordinary PSG’s performances have been. We saw that domination can quickly be lost, and that a top-class opponent can hurt you at the slightest moment when things aren’t going so well.
