The 2019–20 season was Paris Saint-Germain Football Club's 47th professional season since its creation in 1970, and its 46th consecutive season in the top-flight of French football. It was their 50th season in existence.
On 30 April 2020, Paris Saint-Germain were awarded the championship based on PPG ratio following the early cancellation of the 2019–20 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1][2] They subsequently claimed both national cups to achieve a domestic treble. Furthermore, the team then qualified for its first-ever Champions Leaguefinal, hoping to win its first European trophy since 1996. However, they were defeated by Bayern Munich 1–0.[3]
Players
French teams were limited to four players without EU citizenship. Hence, the squad list includes only the principal nationality of each player; several non-European players on the squad had dual citizenship with an EU country. Also, players from the ACP countries—countries in Africa, the Caribbean, and the Pacific that were signatories to the Cotonou Agreement—are not counted against non-EU quotas due to the Kolpak ruling.
Note: Flags indicate national team as defined under FIFA eligibility rules; some limited exceptions apply. Players may hold more than one non-FIFA nationality.
