After two consecutive promotions, PSG returned to Ligue 1 in the 1974–75 season and never looked back. [4] [5] Since then, the club have won a record thirteen league titles, finishing first more often than in any other position. Having finished second in nine league campaigns, PSG have regained the top two places on 22 occasions. They have also reached the top five 30 times, representing more than half of the club's seasons in Ligue 1. PSG's lowest ever finish is 16th, achieved in both the 1971–72 and the 2007–08 seasons, when they escaped relegation on the final day with a 2–1 win at Sochaux. [4]

PSG enjoyed their best season to date in the 2024–25 campaign, playing a record 65 matches, becoming the first French club to win the continental treble after claiming their maiden UEFA Champions League title in addition to the league championship and Coupe de France, and averaging a record crowd of 47,639 per home league game. [10] [11] [12] The club also set several records during the 2015–16 season: PSG collected 96 points, their highest total in Ligue 1, while conceding just 19 goals; they won 47 matches in all competitions; and Zlatan Ibrahimović became the player with the most goals scored in a single season, netting 50 times. Other notable records across all competitions include the 28 goals conceded in the 1993–94 season and the 171 goals scored in the 2017–18 season. [10] [13]
