Paris Saint-Germain are now one of the biggest clubs in Europe and each season are considered to be among the favourites to win the Champions League.
Since the takeover from Qatar Sports Investments, the club have been able to attract some of the best players in the world to Paris including Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi.
Before and indeed after the game-changing takeover, they have been on the wrong end of some heavy losses, including in one of the most famous matches in Champions League history.
This page will showcase PSG’s record defeats in the major competitions.
What is PSG’s biggest ever defeat in history?
The biggest loss in PSG’s history came in September 1971 when they were defeated 6-0 by Nantes in a Ligue 1 fixture.
This was just the club’s second season in existence after they were formed in 1970.
What is PSG’s biggest ever home defeat in history?
The biggest home loss in PSG’s history was a 6-1 defeat to Juventus in the UEFA Super Cup first-leg against Juventus in January 1997.
What is PSG’s biggest ever away defeat in history?
The biggest away loss in PSG’s history was the aforementioned 6-0 defeat to Nantes in 1971.
What is PSG’s biggest ever Ligue 1 defeat in history?
PSG’s biggest ever defeat in Ligue 1 was also the 6-0 loss to Nantes.
What is PSG’s biggest ever European defeat in history?
PSG’s biggest-ever European defeat came in January 1997 when they lost 6-1 against Juventus in the UEFA Super Cup.
The Italian giants demolished PSG thanks to goals from Sergio Porrini, Ciro Ferrara, Attilio Lombardo, Nicola Amoruso and a double from Michele Padovano.

What is PSG’s biggest ever Champions League defeat in history?
In one of the most famous matches in Champions League history, PSG lost 6-1 at Camp Nou.
In the 2016/17 campaign, PSG drew Barcelona in the last 16 and blew the Blaugrana away in the first leg with a comprehensive 4-0 home victory.
Barcelona, therefore, needed to score at least five goals in the second leg to progress, which eventually became six after Edinson Cavani found the back of the net at Camp Nou.
PSG suffered a massive capitulation and lost 6-1, with Sergi Roberto scoring the dramatic tie-winner late on after a fabulous pass from Neymar.
This match has become known as La Remontada (‘the Comeback’) in Barcelona folklore but is a night that Paris Saint-Germain fans will wish to forget.
