Nasser Al-Khelaïfi’s Powerful Words Following His Triumph

Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, who received the awards for Best President and Best Club of the Year at the Golden Boy 2025, expressed his feelings upon winning the honors: “Unfortunately, on the night of the gala (scheduled for 18:00 IST), I have a commitment with the EFC. I even tried to combine both by taking a private flight. I am truly sorry I cannot be there, but Doué and Campos will represent us. We have had a fantastic season, marking a significant milestone for our club that recognizes the hard work of the past few years. This is the best season in our history, but more importantly, it’s how we achieved these results. We take pride in our approach and victory. The way we won and transformed the club is what matters most. We are proud to be where we are today; the journey has been challenging, but we continue on the same path without changing. Our philosophy is to win collectively, focusing on developing our young players, with the help of the best coach in the world, Luis Enrique.”

The Parisian president displayed rightful pride while receiving the Golden Boy: “We want to have the best players in the world and develop our youth teams to secure the club’s future, not just focus on today’s results, which are important, but especially on the future of the club. I genuinely appreciate this distinction as it reflects my work and that of the entire club. At Paris Saint-Germain, we always aim to think differently: we have big ambitions and do not want to follow the crowd. Football is everything to us, but we are also much more than just a football team. We emphasize sports, health, and education. From the Academy youths to the first-team players, we aim to create not just skilled athletes, but also educated players who embody PSG values. Today, you can see the results: an incredible sports complex that doubles as a true learning environment. The future of Paris Saint-Germain will be born and built here; it cannot be bought, it will be ‘Made in Paris’ for Paris. I’ve said before that the real star of Paris Saint-Germain is the team, both on and off the field. When we work together, this is the result.”
