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]
