PSG beat Marseille on penalties to lift the French Super Cup 🏆
PSG won on penalties against Olympique Marseille after drawing 2-2 in regular time and was crowned champion of the 2026 French Super Cup in Kuwait.
If there was anything Luis Enrique's team needed, somewhat irregular this season after a dream year, to add importance to the Trophée des Champions , a trophy they had lifted in 11 of the last 12 editions, it was a finale like this Thursday at the Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium.
Because just like in Ligue 1 , a tournament they dominate but currently trail Lens, the Parisian team had to come from behind. They could only force penalties in extremis, thanks to a last-minute goal by Goncalo Ramos, who came on just moments before, in the 95th minute, when OM was savoring a classic victory that was worth a title.
The story started well for the European champion, as Ousmane Dembélé opened the scoring in the 13th minute, capitalizing on an error in the Olympic team's defense well exploited by Viitnha and the current Ballon d'Or winner.
However, Marseille equalized in the 74th minute, through Mason Greenwood , from a penalty, after a foul committed by goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier on the forward himself.
The match seemed to be heading to penalties, but in the 87th minute, Ecuadorian Willian Pacho accidentally scored an own goal after a difficult cross from Traorè.
At that moment, Luis Enrique made more changes: he sent Goncalo Ramos and Senny Mayulu onto the field, and in just a few minutes, the Portuguese forward took advantage of an assist from Barcola and set the final score.
Moments earlier, OM had the chance to seal the game, but Pacho arrived in time to intercept and kept his team alive, which later celebrated in the penalties.
In that instance, Chevalier stood tall against O’Riley, who came on in the 93rd minute, and Traorè. Murillo scored, but Ramos, Vitinha , Nuno Mendes, and Doué got past Gerónimo Rulli , and the Parisian team, once again, was crowned champion in French football.
PSG now has 14 victories in the competition, including 12 of the last 13 editions, surpassing Lyon (8) and Saint-Étienne (5) among the most successful. And OM? 3 celebrations, the last one in 2011.
