Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Olympique de Marseille are two of the most successful football clubs in France, with different trajectories in terms of their trophy achievements. PSG has become a dominant force in French football, particularly since the early 2010s, after significant investment from their Qatari owners. They have won 11 Ligue 1 titles, including a string of victories that has established them as a powerhouse in French football. PSG has also secured 14 Coupe de France titles, 9 Coupe de la Ligue trophies, and 11 Trophée des Champions, demonstrating their consistent domestic dominance. Despite significant investment, PSG has yet to win the UEFA Champions League, with their best finish being runners-up in 2020.
Olympique de Marseille, while historically successful, has a smaller but still notable trophy count. Marseille has won 9 Ligue 1 titles, with their most recent championship coming in 2010. The club has also won 10 Coupe de France titles and 3 Coupe de la Ligue trophies. What sets Marseille apart in French football is their European success, having won the UEFA Champions League in 1993, making them the only French club to have achieved this honor. Although PSG's dominance in French competitions is clear, Marseille's European achievement and historical success keep them in the conversation as one of France's most storied football clubs.
