PSG can clinch their second trophy of the season on Thursday as they prepare for the Trophée des Champions final against Marseille. Luis Enrique’s men arrive on a five-match unbeaten streak across all competitions, following a 2-1 win over Paris FC last weekend.
The Parisians are no strangers to this stage, having triumphed in 11 of their last 12 appearances in the final and keeping clean sheets in their last three encounters for this trophy, scoring seven goals in the process.
Softfootball reported that their previous outing on Asian soil saw them lift the Intercontinental Cup with a 2-1 extra-time victory over Flamengo.
Marseille, meanwhile, enter off the back of a 2-0 defeat at Nantes, eight points adrift in the league, though Roberto De Zerbi’s men can make history with their first trophy under him.
Les Phoceens have won two consecutive away fixtures, netting nine goals combined, and defeated PSG 1-0 in their September meeting a win they hope to repeat for the first time since 2011.
This fixture also brings to mind dramatic encounters, including a 2–1 win for ten-man Bayern over PSG, highlighting moments of vulnerability in the Parisian side.
