Major clubs to have never won the Champions League or the Europa League

7) Paris Saint-Germain

Zlatan and his team were knocked out by Manchester City this season

Paris St Germain is actually the only French club other than Marseille to win a European title, but PSG’s European exploits are nothing worthwhile so as to hold the French league in good stead.

The cash-rich Parisians have never won the UEFA Champions League or the Europa League, but they did win the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup in the 1995-96 season. The campaign saw PSG thrash Celtic 3-0 at the usually formidable Celtic Park stadium in the knock-out stages and went on to lift the trophy with a victory over Rapid Vienna.

The mid-nineties saw PSG produce their best ever performances on a European stage as the team comprising of George Weah and Youri Djorkaeff topped a Champions League group comprising of Bayern Munich and went on to eliminate the mighty Barcelona in the quarter-finals before narrowly losing to Milan in the semi-finals.

PSG is close to matching that golden age with the current squad of expensive stars like Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Edinson Cavani – Les Parisiens have reached four straight Champions League quarter-finals as of late and eliminated English powerhouses Chelsea in successive years.

A European title has to be close for the four-time defending Ligue 1 Champions, who were also the co-winners of the UEFA Intertoto cup in 2001
