PSG Add Second Crest Star to Celebrate Back-to-Back Champions League Titles
Paris Saint-Germain will wear two stars above the club crest throughout the 2026-27 campaign, using the addition to mark successive Champions League titles. The temporary design will appear in every competition, from Ligue 1 and the Coupe de France to UEFA fixtures, rather than being limited to European matches.
The twin-star shirt was first spotted during pre-season games against Majorca and Manchester United, before being worn in PSG’s Trophée des Champions win over Lens. Luis Enrique’s players have retained the detail for Ligue 1 fixtures against Rennes, Lille and Monaco.
The club has made clear that the stars are a one-season tribute rather than an alteration to PSG’s permanent emblem. The intention is to celebrate the side’s “Back 2 Back” Champions League achievement after consecutive continental triumphs.
A change from last season’s approach
PSG were considerably more cautious after their 5-0 defeat of Inter Milan in the 2025 Champions League final in Munich. The prospect of adding one star prompted a mixed reaction among supporters: some saw it as appropriate recognition of a first European crown, while others believed it too closely resembled the symbolism associated with a long-standing rival from southern France.
That compromise meant the single star was used only for European matches, the Club World Cup and the UEFA Super Cup during 2025-26. It was not included on shirts for domestic fixtures.
The latest decision follows PSG’s penalty-shootout victory over Arsenal in Budapest last May, which delivered a second straight Champions League success. Should the French champions fail to defend the trophy this season, the two stars will be removed for 2027-28. A third consecutive European title, however, would be expected to lead to a third star and complete a historic three-peat.
