The 1971–72 season was Paris Saint-Germain's 2nd season in existence. PSG mainly played their home league games at the Stade Bauer in Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine, but occasionally at the Stade Yves-du-Manoir in Colombes as well, registering an average attendance of 10,030 spectators per match. Guy Crescent presided the club until December 1971, when Henri Patrelle replaced him. The team was coached by Pierre Phelipon, this time exclusively as manager. Jean Djorkaeff was the team captain.
