The Champions Trophy won by PSG on Sunday in Qatar allowed four Parisians to win their first title with the club and even their first title at all for some. Marquinhos has entered the history of PSG and French football a little further.
The first title of the French season is for PSG, who won the 2024 Champions Trophy this Sunday January 5, 2025 in Doha by beating AS Monaco thanks to a goal from Ousmane Dembélé, well served by Fabian Ruiz. One more title for players already at the club for several years or since the arrival of Luis Enrique.
Great first for Safonov and Doué
For those who arrived last summer (João Neves, Willian Pacho, Matvey Safonov and Désiré Doué), this is their very first title under the colors of PSG. A necessarily special feeling, even more so for Safonov and the former Rennais Doué, who had never won a title since the start of their career.
Trained in a club which has never been champion of France and which has only won the Coupe de France three times, Désiré Doué had stars in his eyes after the victory against Monaco. “First title of my life with Paris Saint-Germain. It's just magnificent. I’m very happy, well done team”he reacted after the match.

This 13th Champions Trophy won by PSG is the 52nd title in the history of the club since its creation and also the 31st won by captain Marquinhos under the Parisian colors since his arrival in 2013. The Brazilian central defender also entered in history on Sunday by becoming the most successful Parisian ahead of Marco Verratti (30 titles), but also the most successful player in French football.
