French author and screenwriter David Foenkinos, a devoted fan of the club, narrates the book, providing readers with a unique insight into the project's artistic purpose. From the streets of Paris to New York, Tokyo, and Doha, the book chronicles the club's journey and its impact on contemporary culture. This limited edition book is a must-have for PSG fans and includes exclusive imagery in a beautifully crafted volume finished with tip-on images and presented in a clamshell case. The book is available in both English and French.
