Paris Saint-Germain will put its title on the line as this season¡¯s Champions League begins this week, with another grueling campaign in store and an armada of English teams setting out to conquer Europe.

PSG ended over a decade of disappointment in continental competition when it lifted the trophy in May, tearing Inter Milan apart in the final.

That was the 17th match of their European campaign, in a marathon season that spanned 11 months and 65 games before concluding with a defeat against Chelsea in the Club World Cup final.
