The countdown to the highly anticipated FIFA Club World Cup is in full swing, with just 83 days remaining. As the excitement builds, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is making waves, threatening long-standing Ligue 1 records and aiming for international glory. With Ousmane Dembele and his teammates leading the charge, PSG’s dominance this season draws comparisons to their record-breaking 2015/16 campaign.

PSG’s Record-Setting 2015/16 Season
Paris Saint-Germain’s 2015/16 season remains one of the most impressive campaigns in Ligue 1 history. That year, under the guidance of Laurent Blanc, PSG shattered records, finishing with a staggering goal difference of +83, the highest ever recorded in the competition. Astonishingly, this goal difference surpassed the combined total of the eight other teams that ended with a positive goal difference (+75).
The star-studded squad, featuring football icons such as Thiago Silva, Angel Di Maria, Lucas Moura, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and Edinson Cavani, also set records for the most wins (30) and the highest points tally (96) in a single Ligue 1 season.
Luis Enrique’s PSG: On the Verge of New Records
Fast forward to the 2024/25 season, and PSG, under the leadership of Luis Enrique, is poised to challenge these historic records. After 26 rounds, the team, spearheaded by Achraf Hakimi, Joao Neves, Ousmane Dembele, and Bradley Barcola, has secured 21 victories, drawn five matches, and amassed 68 points.
If PSG continues at this pace, they can break their previous points and win records. More impressively, they remain in contention to complete an unbeaten season—an achievement no team in Ligue 1 history has accomplished.
The Unbeaten Challenge: Can PSG Make History?
Going undefeated in a full Ligue 1 campaign is a feat no team has ever achieved. The closest any club has come was Nantes in 1994/95 when they suffered just one defeat on their way to the title. That squad, featuring football legends like Claude Makelele, Christian Karembeu, Japhet N’Doram, Reynald Pedros, Patrice Loko, and Nicolas Ouedec, set the benchmark for resilience and consistency.
With PSG’s current form and squad depth, breaking this record is possible. However, navigating an entire season without a single defeat requires exceptional focus, consistency, and a bit of luck.
