The 1986–87 season was Paris Saint-Germain's 17th season in existence. PSG played their home league games at the Parc des Princes in Paris, registering an average attendance of 20,312 spectators per match. The club was presided by Francis Borelli and the team was coached by Gérard Houllier. Jean-Marc Pilorget was the team captain.
Summary
The follow-up to the league title was not as glorious though. Key players Luis Fernandez, Jean-Claude Lemoult and Thierry Morin departed ahead of 1986–87 and PSG tried to replace them with more gunpowder up front. Gérard Houllier brought in forwards Vahid Halilhodžić, Daniel Xuereb and Jules Bocandé, all of whom joined Dominique Rocheteau in an extremely attack-minded yet unbalanced squad. The end result was a 7th-place finish in the league, an early exit from the French Cup and a disappointing first European Cup appearance, getting knocked out by Czech minnows Vítkovice in the first round.
