Paris Saint-Germain named world's best club at Ballon d'Or awards

Paris Saint-Germain has been named the world's best club for 2026 at the Ballon d'Or awards, in recognition of its outstanding achievements, led by a second consecutive UEFA Champions League title.

The Parisian side was honored after an exceptional season in which it claimed five trophies: the Champions League, Ligue 1, UEFA Super Cup, Intercontinental Cup, and the French Champions Trophy. PSG then added the 2026 UEFA Super Cup to its record after defeating England's Aston Villa 2-1.

Paris Saint-Germain continued its continental success under Spanish coach Luis Enrique, becoming the first French club to win the Champions League twice and retaining the title for a second straight season after beating England's Arsenal on penalties in the final.

This latest accolade further cements the club's status in European football, thanks to its talented squad and its ability to compete for both domestic and continental honors.

The best club award is one of several presented at the Ballon d'Or ceremony, organized by France Football magazine, which also honors top players, coaches, and clubs, and announces winners of various individual football awards.
