Overview
- The match finished 1-0 after Florian Thauvin scored in the 32nd minute to give Lens the victory on Sunday, August 16, 2026.
- Lens played most of the game with 10 men after Kyllian Antonio was shown a straight red in the first half and PSG were reduced to 10 late on when Nuno Mendes received a straight red.
- PSG arrived having just won the UEFA Super Cup days earlier and named a squad that left Ferran Torres and Mika Godts unregistered, factors that coverage linked to their shaky finishing on the night.
- The LFP faced heavy criticism because the Trophée des Champions was held at Lens' home ground with reports of roughly 95 percent home support and about 1,850 away tickets for PSG fans.
- The result hands Lens their first Trophée des Champions, leaves PSG without the trophy before the Ligue 1 season, and creates immediate consequences including a likely suspension for Nuno Mendes and an 18-year-old Antonio facing disciplinary fallout.
