Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has revealed the club's next targets after securing their first-ever UEFA Champions League trophy with a commanding 5-0 victory over Inter Milan in Munich on Saturday night.
The Ligue 1 giants finally achieved European glory after years of substantial investment and previous disappointments in the competition, but Al-Khelaifi is already looking ahead to more silverware.
"Now our mission is to win the FIFA Club World Cup and then the Champions League again. That's our mentality," Al-Khelaifi told reporters following the historic victory.
PSG's triumph marks a significant milestone for the Qatar-owned club, which has dominated French domestic football but had previously fallen short in European competition despite fielding star-studded squads over the years.
The Paris club will now turn their attention to the FIFA Club World Cup, where they are set to face Atletico Madrid, Botafogo, and Seattle Sounders in the tournament scheduled for later this month.
The comprehensive victory over Inter Milan has established PSG as a formidable force in European football, finally delivering on the promise that came with their substantial financial backing over the past decade.
Following the match, Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi also commented on the defeat, acknowledging PSG's superiority on the night, though the specific reasons he cited for the 5-0 scoreline were not detailed in the initial report.
The celebrations in Paris were reportedly marred by clashes that led to hundreds of arrests, as fans took to the streets to celebrate their team's historic achievement.
Former Nigerian international Jay-Jay Okocha also reacted to the result, revealing he had predicted a closer 2-1 scoreline for the final.
