. Known as the ''Parisian Derby'', the both teams compete for recognition as the capital's top team. Prior to the rise of PSG into an elite club in the 2010s, Paris FC were the biggest team in the land and usually had the upper hand against their city rivals. In fact, PFC were the last side to win the league title, aside from Lyon in 2006, before PSG claimed their first crown in 2021. Nowadays, PSG dominate the derby thanks to the huge gulf created between them by the investment of their Qatari owners, while Paris FC are trying to establish themselves as France's third team.
