Paris Saint-Germain faced Olympique de Marseille this Thursday in the Trophée des Champions (2–2, 4–1 on penalties). Speaking to PSG TV, Warren Zaïre-Emery, the 19-year-old Parisian midfielder, reflected on the match.
Warren Zaïre-Emery: “This victory is for our supporters”
“It was a crazy scenario, but it shows the strength of this team and the mentality we have — never giving up. This victory is for our supporters. Allez Paris!”
PSG were made to sweat during a match they had nevertheless controlled for most of both halves. Two mistakes proved costly and allowed Marseille to take the lead. But as they so often do, the Parisians never gave up and pushed until the very last minute to score the equaliser and force a penalty shootout.
After Matvey Safonov shone in the Intercontinental Cup against Flamengo, it was Lucas Chevalier who made the difference in this Trophée des Champions, saving the first two Marseille penalties. A fine victory for the club from the capital, who continue their dominance and, above all, start 2026 exactly as they ended the 2025 calendar year — with a trophy.
