Off the Pitch is a publication that retraces the events decade; the one that saw the PSG brand reach across borders and become truly international.

Paris has a style, "a style that few clubs can match," as even the famous New York Times declared. Off The Pitch tells the story of this extraordinary odyssey, where fashion, music, lifestyle and gastronomy all come together, reflecting a unique voyage. And it reveals why Paris Saint-Germain can claim more than 150 million fans all over the world. This book, a first edition of 2000 copies, is also available in a collector's edition with an original work of art by the urban artist Rero entitled "Je t'aime moi non plus", printed in 75 copies. Rero has been living in Rio since 2015 and he holds Paris close to his heart.

"This work is an autopsy of football, of a sacred object," explains Rero. "I took a lot of old footballs recovered from the local Paris Saint-Germain academy and from favelas. I opened them up, laid them flat like a kind of animal skin, and then I interacted, I put this aphorism on them to question the relationship to football. To passion."
