Paris Saint-Germain F.C. in international football
Paris Saint-Germain F.C. is a professional football club based in Paris, France. It was founded on 12 August 1970, thanks to the merger of Paris FC and Stade Saint-Germain. PSG was one of the founding members of the Ligue 1 in 2002, and has been playing in the top-flight since 1974, the current championship record. The 1982–83 season became PSG's first participation in a European competition as they reached the Cup Winners' Cup quarterfinals before being eliminated by Belgian outfit Waterschei. Since then, the capital club has competed in every UEFA-organised competition. Paris Saint-Germain is, along with Olympique de Marseille, one of only two French clubs to have won a European competition, claiming the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1996 and the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 2001. In 1994, PSG was ranked 1st in the Club World Ranking made by the IFFHS, and in 1998, "Les Parisiens" were also ranked 1st in the UEFA Team Ranking. PSG is the only French club to ever achieve these honours.
==Early years==
During the 1981–82 season, Paris Saint-Germain tasted their first honour against Michel Platini's Saint-Étienne in their predilect competition, the French Cup. A year later, "Les Parisiens" confronted Nantes in a second consecutive final, with the result being just as good for the capital. These breakthroughs opened the doors to Europe and PSG's first couple of seasons were a complete success thanks to memorable encounters, particularly with Waterschei in 1983 and with Juventus in 1984. Paris' first match in European competition was a Cup Winners' Cup first round tie against Lokomotiv Sofia. Paris Saint-Germain narrowly lost the match at the Lokomotiv Stadium in Sofia. The return leg was played at the Parc des Princes, where PSG condemned their visitors to a crushing 5–1 defeat in front of 32,000 spectators thanks in part to Nabatingue Toko's brace, who also netted the club's first European goal. After an easy tie against Swansea City, Paris reached the quarter-finals before being eliminated by Waterschei. At first it seemed to be the perfect draw as PSG avoided big clubs such as Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Inter Milan, and Real Madrid. In front of 49,575 spectators, PSG's attendance record, Safet Sušić opened the score at the Parc des Princes before Bulgarian referee Bogdan Dotchev disallowed it. Paris' dominance was recompensated just before the break when "Man of the Match" Luis Fernández scored after being played in by Mustapha Dahleb's back-heel. Jean-Marc Pilorget doubled the lead as the final whistle would make "Les Parisiens" rue all the missed opportunities. Overconfidence cost them the semi-finals as the Belgians achieved a 3–0 victory after extra-time in a highly controversial fixture where PSG finished the match with nine men after polemic send-offs from Jean-Claude Lemoult and Saar Boubacar. After an exceptional year, PSG was named "Club of the Year" in 1982 by French magazine France-Football.
Again in the Cup Winners' Cup, Paris Saint-Germain even produced one of the most famous nights in their history, cruelly going out on away goals in the second round to eventual champions Juventus, a squad including no other than Michel Platini and the majority of the 1982 FIFA World Cup winners. After another spectacular year, the capital club was named "Club of the Year" in 1983 by France-Football for a second successive time. A third consecutive participation in Europe, this time in the UEFA Cup, was achieved by the club thanks to Safet Sušić's goal against Toulouse in the final matchday of the 1983–84 season. However, their first UEFA Cup campaign was short-lived as after crushing Heart of Midlothian in the first round, not even a Dominique Rocheteau brace could spare PSG from a disappointing 4–2 defeat against eventual runners-up Videoton at the Parc des Princes. A comeback from Paris in the second leg was hampered by Alain Couriol's severe knee damage. A parcial 2–0 defeat before the match was postponed due to the thick fog was a heads-up of their eventual 1–0 loss during the replay. In 1985, PSG even looked for a third French cup in four years, but lost out to Monaco. Two years later, PSG clinched their maiden French title, going an amazing 26 matches without defeat. It was this domestic success that opened the door for Paris to the European Cup. But where ecstasy lies, there is always painful disturbance. After a season of absence, "Les Parisiens" return to Europe couldn't be worst and their first participation in the European Cup finished at the first hurdle against Czechoslovak champions Vítkovice.〔
Following that disappointment, PSG failed to qualify for any European competitions during 4 seasons out of 5 between 1987 and 1992. Their only continental participation of that period, in the 1989–90 UEFA Cup, ended with a second round elimination.
