The Paris Saint-Germain academy has finished the season on a historic high, securing both the U19 and U17 national championship titles. These youth successes cap off an exceptional year for the club across all levels of competition.
In the U17 final, the young Parisians defeated Angers 2-0. Lorenzo Kana Biyik opened the scoring, with Noha Tiehi sealing the victory with a goal deep into stoppage time.
The U19 final against Clermont proved more challenging. After conceding an early header to league top scorer Jean-William Nyindong Tsamouna, the PSG side showed resilience to turn the match around before halftime. Mathis Jangeal, who has already featured for the senior team, scored a decisive brace to secure the club's eighth U19 title.
This campaign marks a major milestone for Paris Saint-Germain, as it is the first time the club has achieved the U17-U19-Gambardella treble in its history. It is also the first time since the 2015-2016 season that the club has won both the U17 and U19 national championships in the same year.
