Another PSG keeper shines to secure Supercup title 🇫🇷

In Kuwait, far from Paris and Marseille, PSG found a familiar script to lift yet another trophy this Thursday (8th).

In the French Super Cup final, the French classic ended in a 2-2 draw in regular time, but found its winner at the penalty spot.

And, just as had happened in the Intercontinental Cup against Flamengo, the protagonist was once again a goalkeeper.

Lucas Chevalier lived a night of extremes. He made great saves, but became the "villain" by committing the penalty that brought Olympique de Marseille back into the game, only to finish as the absolute hero by saving two penalties in the shootout and securing the Parisian title with a 4-2 win on penalties.

A perfect symbol for a PSG that starts 2026 celebrating after stacking up six trophies in 2025, including the unprecedented Champions League.

The match began with a display of talent. In the 13th minute, Vitinha found Ousmane Dembélé, who finished mercilessly with his right foot. The Ballon d'Or winner confirmed PSG's early dominance, with Vitinha, João Neves, and Fabián Ruiz effectively stifling the rival's attempts to react.

Even so, Marseille did not give up. Chevalier had to make a great save from an Emerson Palmieri shot after a sweet pass from Igor Paixão, and saw Weah threaten with a shot that went just wide of the post.

The second half brought the chaos that the classic promises. In the 74th minute, Chevalier brought down Greenwood in the box, and the Englishman himself converted the penalty, tying the match.

Soon after, the improbable happened: Pacho scored an own goal, turning the game around for Marseille and letting the title slip from Parisian hands.

But PSG has depth, weight, and composure. In the 95th minute, Gonçalo Ramos appeared as a textbook center-forward, hitting a precise volley to equalize and push the decision to penalties.

In the "moment of truth," Chevalier rewrote his own night. He saved penalties from O’Riley and Traoré, while PSG was flawless in all their shots.

From error to redemption in just a few minutes, the goalkeeper was once again decisive, precisely on his return as a starter after Safonov was injured—ironically, after shining against Flamengo.

PSG starts 2026 as it ended 2025: as champions. And, once again, with a decisive goalkeeper to tell the story.

It was PSG’s 14th Super Cup trophy. Marseille, with three, was trying to end its title drought that has lasted since 2012.
