Although Al-Khelaïfi had initially demanded a major trophy haul for the 2011-2012 season, PSG were soon eliminated from the Europa League and both domestic cups, leaving the team only able to compete $130 million on players, PSG failed to dominate, and lost out to eventual winners Montpellier HSC, though they did qualify for the UEFA Champions League by finishing second.^[13]

In the 2012-13 season, PSG won the Ligue 1 title and also made it to the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League, thanks partly to the goalscoring of newly signed striker, Zlatan Ibrahimović. They eventually lost in a two-legged tie to FC Barcelona on away goals.

In the 2013–14 season PSG again finished top of Ligue 1 with a record total of 89 points.^[14] They reached the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League where they lost to Chelsea 3-3 on aggregate, again going out only on the away goals rule.

Again they reached the 2018-19 UEFA champions league knock phase where they lost to Manchester United at home after leading with 2 goals at Old Trafford on the first leg. PSG lost at home 1-3 (3-3 on aggregate) and were knocked out by the away goal rule. Manchester United had a makeshift team due to injuries to most players at first 11 and they had several players from the academy. PSG still lost.

In June 2012, QSi acquired the Paris Handball Club and merged it with the PSG sport franchise to create a wider and more competitive sport offer to the city of Paris.^[15] Since 2012, Paris Saint-Germain Handball has won the LNH Division 1 five times, while reaching the EHF Champions League final in 2016–17 and the semifinals in 2015–16 and 2017–18.
