PSG beat Marseille on penalties to claim the French Super Cup title | OneFootball

PSG defeated Olympique Marseille on penalties after a 2-2 draw in regular time and was crowned champion of the 2026 French Super Cup in Kuwait.

If there was something Luis Enrique’s team needed—somewhat inconsistent this season after a dream year—to add significance to the Trophée des Champions, a trophy they had lifted in 11 of the last 12 editions, it was a finale like this Thursday’s at the Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium.

Because, just like in Ligue 1—a competition they dominate but currently trail Lens in this season—the Parisian side had to come from behind. And they could only force penalties in extremis, thanks to a dramatic goal by Goncalo Ramos, who had just come on, in the 95th minute, when OM was savoring a classic victory that would have meant a title.

The story started well for the European champion, as in the 13th minute Ousmane Dembélé opened the scoring, capitalizing on a mistake in the Olympique side’s build-up, well exploited by Vitinha and the current Ballon d’Or winner.

However, Marseille equalized in the 74th minute through Mason Greenwood, from the penalty spot, after a foul committed by goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier on the striker himself.

The match seemed headed for penalties, but in the 87th minute, Ecuadorian Willian Pacho accidentally put the ball into his own net after a difficult cross from Traorè.

At that moment, Luis Enrique made more changes: he sent Goncalo Ramos and Senny Mayulu onto the pitch, and in just a few minutes, the Portuguese striker took advantage of an assist from Barcola and leveled the score.

Moments earlier, OM had the chance to seal the win, but Pacho arrived in time to intercept and kept his team alive, who later celebrated in the penalty shootout.

In that instance, Chevalier stood tall against O’Riley, who had come on in the 93rd minute, and Traorè. Murillo scored, but Ramos, Vitinha, Nuno Mendes, and Doué all beat Gerónimo Rulli, and the Parisian team, once again, was crowned champion of French football.

PSG now has 14 wins in the competition, including 12 of the last 13 editions, far surpassing Lyon (8) and Saint-Étienne (5) among the most successful clubs. And OM? 3 titles, the last in 2011.
