🔗 Share this article PSG Edges Marseille via Spot-Kicks to Claim Trophee des Champions Season-Opening Trophy in the Middle East. PSG has now claimed the prestigious trophy on fourteen separate occasions. Paris Saint-Germain required a stoppage-time leveler followed by a successful spot-kick decider to get past Marseille in the Gulf and secure a fourth straight French Super Cup victory. The European champions appeared to be coasting towards a comfortable win in the showdown featuring the French league champions and the French Cup winners after the French winger found the net early on. However, Marseille struck two times late to take a shock lead. First, the English forward scored from the penalty spot, before the defender inadvertently directed the ball into his own net for an own goal. In a breathtaking twist of events, Goncalo Ramos grabbed a crucial equaliser in the dying moments to force the match into a penalty shootout. The Parisian shot-stopper Chevalier then stood as the hero, stopping crucial kicks from Matt O'Riley and Hamed Traore. In the shootout, Ramos, the midfielder, the full-back, and Desire Doue all converted with composure for PSG to seal a convincing penalty win. The record champions PSG, who faced last season's Ligue 1 second-placed team Olympique de Marseille after completing a domestic double, have now lifted this competition for the twelfth time in the last thirteen years.
