Paris Saint-Germain was named best club of the year for the second consecutive time at the 70th Ballon d’Or ceremony, held Monday in London. The award recognizes a 2025-2026 season crowned by a second consecutive UEFA Champions League title.

This collective trophy, created in 2021, had previously rewarded Chelsea, Manchester City — twice — and Real Madrid before Paris began its reign on the continental stage. PSG thus becomes the first club to win the distinction two years in a row since Manchester City.

It was Ousmane Dembélé, the outgoing individual Ballon d’Or winner, who collected the trophy on behalf of the Parisian collective. “We created an incredible group and club. We try to bring joy to our fans, to neutral people and to our haters,” said the French forward from the London stage.

Questioned by Thierry Henry, master of ceremonies for the evening, about the possibility of a third European title, Dembélé answered cautiously while leaving the door open: “It’s something incredible to win two UEFA Champions League titles, so three… we take the matches one after another.”

PSG now ranks among the most decorated clubs in recent competition history, and enters the next season with the stated ambition of extending a streak that, just five years ago, seemed out of reach for the capital club.
