With the Intercontinental Cup title won this Wednesday (17) over Flamengo, PSG (Paris Saint-Germain) became world champions for the first time in their history.
This year, two clubs celebrated winning a world title — the Parisian team had already finished runner-up in the inaugural edition of the Club World Cup, losing the decision to Chelsea.
Until 2017, FIFA (International Football Federation) recognized as world champions only Corinthians, for their victory in the 2000 Club World Cup, and the teams that won the Intercontinental Cup from 2005 onwards, when the entity itself started to organize the competition.
From then on, a decision by the FIFA council began to consider all teams that also won the duel between the South American and European champions as world champions, from 1960 to 2004.
With the decision, the entity established that, in the year 2000, in addition to Corinthians, Boca Juniors were also world champions, thanks to their victory in the Intercontinental Cup over Real Madrid.
