Assouline captures Paris Saint Germain’s ascent in definitive visual chronicle

Assouline has bound the full arc of Paris Saint Germain into a singular, sumptuous volume. The monograph unfolds the club’s transformation from ambition into legend, tracing the roar of Parc des Princes, the ceremonial parades along the Champs Élysées, and the generations of players who lifted Europe’s greatest prize twice into Parisian hands.

Written by Oxmo Puccino, a lifelong devotee whose deep connection to the club infuses every page, the narrative becomes something more intimate than mere record. A foreword by club president Nasser Al Khelaïfi anchors the text in authority and reflection. The book exists in both French and English, its gold lettering spine and dark cloth binding speaking to Assouline’s fastidious attention to production values. On the cover, players embrace in the blue shirt, their shoulders locked in the moment that defines belonging to something greater than oneself.

The physical object itself carries weight. Its pages are dense with photography and prose, each spread a meditation on the club that has become synonymous with the capital’s own voice. Gold stars embossed on the cover mark the continental victories, a tangible reminder pressed into the material. This is how Assouline works: it transforms narrative into a tactile experience, where the weight of the book in your hands mirrors the weight of history it contains.

The volume is available through Assouline’s channels and fine retailers.
