"Lucas Chevalier saved two penalties to secure Paris Saint-Germain's fourth consecutive Trophee des Champions triumph following a 2-2 draw with Marseille in Kuwait. Goncalo Ramos struck in the 95th minute to force Thursday's contest to penalties, and Chevailer denied both Matt O'Riley and Hamad Traore from the spot, setting up Desire Doue to net the winner. Chevalier smartly kept out Leonardo Balerdi's free header early on, but 13 minutes in, PSG were ahead."
"PSG could not make their first-half dominance count, though, and Marseille upped the pressure after the break, with Chevalier called into action again, getting low to deny Igor Paixao before hopping back up to smother Benjamin Pavard's tight-angled follow-up. Doue then hit the post with a fierce long-range drive, but the tide turned when Chevalier rushed out to stop Mason Greenwood's run in the 74th minute and failed to win the ball, with the forward converting the resulting penalty with aplomb."
Lucas Chevalier saved two penalties to secure Paris Saint-Germain's fourth consecutive Trophee des Champions after a 2-2 draw with Marseille in Kuwait. Goncalo Ramos equalised in the 95th minute to force the contest to penalties, after Desire Doue had earlier netted the decisive spot-kick. Vitinha set up Ousmane Dembele's early opener following a sloppy Marseille clearance. Marseille turned the game when Mason Greenwood converted a 74th-minute penalty and Willian Pacho's own goal brought Marseille level late on. Ramos then scored from Bradley Barcola's nod to take the match to penalties. PSG won the shootout as Chevalier denied Matt O'Riley and Hamad Traore.
