About Paris Saint-Germain
Paris Saint-Germain are football's great modern superpower — a club founded only in 1970 that now sits at the very top of the European game. This free PSG quiz covers the whole journey: the merger that created the club, the cup-fighting decades at the Parc des Princes, the Qatari takeover of 2011 that changed everything, and the Luis Enrique side that won back-to-back Champions Leagues in 2025 and 2026. Few clubs have packed so much drama into so little history — world-record transfers, a galáctico front three, painful European collapses and, finally, total triumph. If you can tell your Raí from your Rothen, this is your quiz.
The defining nights are all here. George Weah top-scoring in the 1994-95 Champions League, then Bruno N'Gotty's free-kick against Rapid Vienna to win the 1996 Cup Winners' Cup — the club's first major European trophy. Ronaldinho lighting up the Parc des Princes in the early 2000s, Zlatan Ibrahimović dragging PSG into its new age after 2011, and Neymar arriving from Barcelona in 2017 for a world-record €222 million. And then the summit at last: Luis Enrique's treble winners demolishing Inter Milan 5-0 in Munich in May 2025 — the biggest winning margin in a European Cup final — Ousmane Dembélé lifting the Ballon d'Or that September, and the trophy retained against Arsenal on penalties in Budapest a year later.
Expect questions on transfers (which club did PSG sign Kylian Mbappé from?), records (how many of their record fourteen Ligue 1 titles came in a row?), managers (from Artur Jorge and Luis Fernandez through Ancelotti, Emery and Tuchel to Luis Enrique) and the cult heroes — Pauleta's goals, Jay-Jay Okocha's stepovers, Safet Sušić's passes. You'll be asked how Mbappé became the club's record scorer before leaving for Real Madrid in 2024, and which goalkeeper joined alongside Lionel Messi on the 2021 arrivals list. The painful nights are in there too: the 6-1 Remontada collapse at Camp Nou in 2017 remains one of football's great quiz subjects. Questions are graded easy to hard, so you can warm up on Messi and Mbappé before the deep cuts about 1990s European semi-finals and 1980s cup runs.
Every question below comes with a short explained answer — not just "wrong, it was Doué", but the story of why. Miss one and you still walk away with the detail that makes it stick next time.
