PSG wins the Super Cup and Marquinhos comments on Lucas Chevalier’s debut: “You have to learn…”
Captain urges new signing to learn to handle pressure after mixed first match
Paris Saint-Germain are UEFA Super Cup champions after a dramatic penalty shootout win over Tottenham Hotspur. The French side was moments away from defeat before a late comeback forced penalties, where debutant goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier became the unlikely hero.
From Error to Redemption
Chevalier, signed from Lille for €55 million, endured a difficult start by misjudging a cross that led to Spurs’ second goal. However, the 22-year-old redeemed himself in the shootout by saving a crucial penalty, helping PSG claim the trophy.
Marquinhos Sends a Message
Captain Marquinhos, who has now won more trophies than any player in PSG history, publicly backed the young keeper:
“We trust Lucas. PSG is like this — you have to learn to handle the pressure. We welcome him with this trophy,” he told Canal+.
Donnarumma Exit Sparks Rumors
Chevalier’s arrival led to the departure of Gianluigi Donnarumma, who is now heavily linked with Manchester City. Reports suggest coach Luis Enrique personally approved the move to make Chevalier his first-choice goalkeeper.
What’s Next for PSG
PSG begin their Ligue 1 campaign on Sunday, August 17, away to Nantes at La Beaujoire stadium.
