As we know, the national cups are an integral part of the history of PSG, winner of 14 French Cups or 9 League Cups, competition suspended since 2020. And the Champions Trophy is no exception to the rule.
Tonight against Lille, a meeting relocated to Tel Aviv (Israel), the capital club will aim for an 11th success!

It's a record: PSG is the only club to have lifted the Champions Trophy 10 times, this "final" opposing the French champion to the winner of the Coupe de France (or the runner-up to the champion in the event of a similarity).
The Rouge et Bleu even won the first edition of this Trophy, relaunched in 1995 after having experienced several lives between 1955 and 1986 under the name of Challenge des champions.

"Challenge" and "Trophy" of the champions combined, PSG has already appeared 14 times in the final.
Eight times as champion of France (1986, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019, 2020).
Six times as winner of the Coupe de France (1995, 1998, 2004, 2006, 2010 and 2017).
For his 15th appearance, this Sunday, he will do so as the winner of the Coupe de France 2021.

Another record in the Parisian bag: the eight successes in a row, a series in progress since 2013. In 2018, thanks to a 4-0 success over AS Monaco, the Parisians equaled the record of six victories in a row for OL , established from 2002 to 2007. The following year, against Rennes (2-1), still in Shenzhen (China), the PSG thus exceeded the Lyonnais.

It is also the record of titles for a player, belonging to Marco Verratti, still present on the scoresheet from 2013 to 2020. Unfortunately, the Italian will not be present this Sunday evening in Israel.
But it is for a good cause: he ends his vacation after his title at Euro 2021 with his selection.

The numerous appearances of PSG in the final give it another "record": that of the greatest number of defeats with 4 losses. Figure shared with OL, Bordeaux and Nantes. If the LOSC came to win this evening, Paris would be alone with five defeats in the final.
