PSG Edges Marseille on Penalties to Claim Trophée des Champions After Stoppage‑Time Lifeline

Played in Kuwait, the curtain‑raiser reinforced PSG's grip on French silverware, leaving Marseille still chasing a first title since 2012.

Overview

  • Ousmane Dembélé opened the scoring before Mason Greenwood equalized from a VAR‑confirmed penalty, Willian Pacho’s own goal put OM ahead, and Gonçalo Ramos leveled at 90+4 to force a shootout.
  • Lucas Chevalier delivered the decisive performance with multiple key saves in play and stops on Matt O’Riley and Hamed Traoré in the 4-1 shootout win.
  • Officials said the penalty for Greenwood was upheld despite technical issues with the VAR images, citing contact at shoulder level.
  • The victory is PSG’s 14th Trophée des Champions and follows a trophy‑laden 2025, whereas OM’s trophy drought extends back to 2012.
  • The match drew roughly 50,000 largely pro‑PSG spectators in Kuwait City, and post‑match reactions mixed PSG praise for OM’s display with pointed taunts from Paris players.
