Paris Saint-Germain secured their second consecutive Champions League title by defeating Arsenal on penalties in May 2026, with four Portuguese players forming the core of their starting lineup. This highlights PSG's strategy of building a team around Portuguese talent, which also strengthens Portugal's prospects for the 2026 World Cup. Additionally, PSG integrates crypto engagement through their $PSG fan token and a Bitcoin treasury strategy, although fan tokens still face challenges in delivering real economic value to holders beyond minor club decisions and exclusive experiences.
