Seven out of eight ain't bad
By far the most successful club of the last decade, PSG have been crowned French champions seven times over the last eight years. Since the summer of 2012, only AS Monaco have managed to pip the Parisians to French football's biggest prize. This title for the principality club prevented PSG from challenging Olympique Lyonnais' record of seven consecutive league titles (won between 2002 and 2008).
