PSG v OM – Chevalier, Ramos and the defence: heroes and zeroes! | OneFootball

This Thursday evening, Paris Saint-Germain won on penalties, 2-2 then 4-1 (video highlights PSG/OM), against Olympique de Marseille as part of the 2025 Trophée des Champions at the Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium in Kuwait. Here are the highlights and lowlights of this victory.

Tops –

❤️ Lucas Chevalier.

The 24-year-old goalkeeper had a tough adaptation at PSG, especially during the Classico in September, which was lost 1-0 due to a failed intervention on his part. This time, during the injury of Matvey Safonov (26 years old), who had been performing very well, he had to step up. The Parisian goalkeeper rose to the occasion with several impressive saves.

The penalty slightly tarnishes his performance, but we’ll grant there’s some doubt about the contact. Most importantly, he redeemed himself during the penalty shootout. A real bonus for the win and for the rest of his Parisian adventure.

Pace and entertainment.

After a somewhat “slow” Parisian derby (PSG/Paris FC) at times on Sunday, this Classico lived up to its promises in terms of intensity and desire to play. There were even some very beautiful sequences, sometimes a bit “crazy” with chances on both sides. It’s important to enjoy such an interesting match to watch.

Ramos

Gonçalo Ramos is not having an easy time at PSG; he is “only” a substitute now, even though he came to establish himself. Maybe it’s still possible. In any case, he never complains and knows how to make a difference when he comes on. That was the case again this time, with a nice “striker’s” goal that Paris sometimes lacks.

Flops –

😡Defensive fragility.

We liked the pace and Chevalier, but these positives also came with a PSG that was at times in great defensive difficulty. We can note that they held on, especially during the many corners. But there were also many chances conceded, including a pressing that was sometimes too easily bypassed. There are adjustments to be made, and fitness to recover.

The broadcast.

A few image glitches, some odd colors, it wasn’t ideal for enjoying a major French football clash.
