Belgian outfit Anderlecht is next on the title count with three, while fellow French club Racing Paris and Brazilian sides Santos and Fluminense were the only other teams to win the competition more than once.

The Parisian side invited European champions Real Madrid, Brazilian team Vasco da Gama and German outfit Rot-Weiss Essen to the tournament played at Parc des Princes.

Reinforced with Dutch legend Johan Cruyff and Serbian star Dragan Džajić for the occasion, PSG narrowly lost to Spanish side Valencia in the final in front of a sold-out Parc des Princes.

[1] In 1982, Brazilian team Atlético Mineiro inflicted PSG's biggest defeat ever in the tournament as the capital club bowed out in the semi-finals (0–3).

The Tournoi de Paris returned in 1991 and saw PSG's last match with historic shirt sponsor RTL.

[1] In 1993, François Calderaro's solitary goal against AJ Auxerre gave PSG its second consecutive title and seventh overall.

The Spanish side lifted the trophy, winning on penalties (1–4) after the match ended in a draw (2–2) at Parc des Princes.
