Lens secured a 1-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain to win the Trophee des Champions thanks to a goal from Florian Thauvin. However, the French governing body LFP has faced fierce criticism for staging the fixture at Lens' home stadium despite rules stipulating a neutral venue.
Florian Thauvin scored a decisive first-half goal as Lens pulled off a major upset to defeat Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 in the Trophée des Champions on Sunday. Despite going down to 10 men just before half-time, the hosts defended heroically to frustrate Luis Enrique’s side and secure the first piece of domestic silverware of the season in front of a passionate home crowd.
Roberto De Zerbi has explained why Mason Greenwood was surprisingly substituted prior to Marseille suffering French Super Cup heartache against Paris Saint-Germain in a penalty shootout. The former Manchester United winger had converted from the spot in normal time, but found himself off the field when an epic battle for major silverware was settled by a test of nerves from 12 yards.
