Paris Saint-Germain have achieved what no other version of the club had ever managed: defeat three English sides in a single Champions League campaign. Under the guidance of Luis Enrique, the Parisians are rewriting history and proving themselves on the biggest stage in European football.

This unprecedented feat was sealed with a commanding 3-1 victory over Aston Villa, marking a symbolic moment for the French giants. Earlier in the tournament, PSG had already defeated Liverpool 1-0 at home and secured an emphatic 4-2 win against Manchester City. The only blemish came in a 0-2 loss to Arsenal, but the overall balance tilts clearly in favour of the Ligue 1 champions.

For years, English opposition seemed to be PSG’s Achilles’ heel in Europe, with painful eliminations and tough defeats. But this season, things have changed. Luis Enrique has brought tactical discipline and renewed confidence to a squad that now competes toe-to-toe with the continent’s elite.

Kylian Mbappe has led the charge with his usual brilliance, but the strength of this team lies in its unity. Whether it’s the experience of players like Marquinhos and Donnarumma, or the emerging talent across midfield and attack, PSG finally look like a well-oiled machine capable of going all the way.

Their dominance over English sides is not just symbolic – it sends a message. PSG are no longer a team that buckles under pressure in big matches. Instead, they are building a Champions League campaign based on resilience, ambition, and big-game performances.

The road to glory is still long

While they’ve made history by beating three Premier League teams, PSG know the job is far from over. With the semi-finals approaching, every step forward will demand even more focus and belief. But one thing is certain – the French side no longer fears the Premier League giants. Now, they beat them.
