The 1990–91 season was Paris Saint-Germain's 21st season in existence.^[1]^[2] PSG played their home league games at the Parc des Princes in Paris, registering an average attendance of 14,817 spectators per match.^[1]^[2]^[3] The club was presided by Francis Borelli and the team was coached by Henri Michel.^[1]^[2] Safet Sušić was the team captain.^[4]

Summary

Poor results, once again showcased by their 9th-place finish in 1990–91, and competition with Racing Paris in the 1980s for recognition as the capital's top team had taken a toll on PSG.^[5]^[6] The club's budget skyrocketed and, as a result, debt kept rising.^[5]^[7] In April 1991, after yet another defeat and with the club in great danger of bankruptcy, PSG supporters demanded the resignation of Francis Borelli.^[7]^[8] In May 1991, following the end of the season, Borelli sold the club to French television giants Canal+.^[7]^[9] On a bright note, the under-19 side of the PSG Academy won the club's first Coupe Gambardella against Auxerre (1–1; 3–1 on penalties) with future first-team players Pascal Nouma, Bernard Allou and Richard Dutruel leading the squad.^[6]
