The 2021–22 season was the 52nd season in the existence of Paris Saint-Germain F.C. and the club's 48th consecutive season in the top flight of French football. In addition to the domestic league, Paris Saint-Germain participated in this season's editions of the Coupe de France and the UEFA Champions League, having lost the Trophée des Champions for the first time in nine years.
Before the season proper, PSG were widely characterized as a dream team, as they acquired the 2021 Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi, the 2021 Yashin Trophy winner Gianluigi Donnarumma, Ballon d'Or Dream Teamer Sergio Ramos, and the Netherlands vice-captain Georginio Wijnaldum, while spending close to €100 million on other transfers (such as Moroccan international Achraf Hakimi) and turning down an offer north of €200 million for Kylian Mbappé, in the summer transfer window. PSG would go on to win the Ligue 1 title back, but were eliminated from the Coupe de France by Nice in the round of 16. They suffered an exit at the same stage of the Champions League to Real Madrid, surrendering a 1–0 first-leg lead to lose 3–2 on aggregate.
