The 1993–94 season was Paris Saint-Germain's 24th season in existence.[1][2] PSG played their home league games at the Parc des Princes in Paris, registering an average attendance of 26,521 spectators per match.[1][2][3] The club was presided by Michel Denisot and the team was coached by Artur Jorge.[1][2] Paul Le Guen was the team captain.[4]

Summary[edit]

Brazilian playmaker Raí, considered by many as PSG's greatest player ever, joined the capital club in 1993–94, helping them conquer their second league title. The Parisians went a remarkable 27 matches without defeat, breaking the Division 1 record set by themselves in 1985–86.[5] PSG also recorded their largest victory ever in all competitions after hammering amateur side Côte Chaude in the last-64 round of the Coupe de France in January 1994 (10–0).[6][7] The club's league-cup double aspirations were, however, cut short by Lens in the quarterfinals.[5]

In Europe, history would repeat itself. The Red and Blues beat Real Madrid in the European Cup Winners' Cup quarterfinals,[8][9] becoming in the process the first and, so far, only French team to win at the Bernabéu with a solitary goal from George Weah,[10] but were denied at the gates of the final once again.[8][9] Having drawn 1–1 at home to Arsenal, PSG needed to score in London yet, surprisingly, Artur Jorge decided to leave Weah in the stands, from where he watched his team lose (0–1).[9] This defeat marked the end of Jorge and his conservative style of play.[8] In his place, the club welcomed Luis Fernandez, who would guide PSG to one of the best campaigns in their history.[8][9]

Despite being relegated, OM kept the right to play in the 1994–95 UEFA Cup.
  2. ^ Winner of the 1993–94 Coupe de France competition will qualify for the First round of the 1994–95 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup.
