PSG wins the Super Cup and Marquinhos comments on Lucas Chevalier’s debut: “You have to learn…”
Paris Saint-Germain lifted their first UEFA Super Cup after a dramatic penalty shootout win over Tottenham Hotspur, with captain Marquinhos stepping in to defend debutant goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier following a mixed night in goal.
From Mistake to Heroics
Chevalier, signed from Lille for €55 million to replace Gianluigi Donnarumma, endured a difficult start when his error contributed to Tottenham’s second goal. The 22-year-old faced immediate criticism from supporters, but redeemed himself by saving a decisive penalty, helping PSG secure the title.
Marquinhos Sends Message of Support
Speaking to Canal+, Marquinhos stressed the importance of resilience at a club under constant scrutiny.
“We trust Lucas and the coaching staff. That’s how PSG is; you have to learn to handle pressure. We welcome him with this trophy,” said the Brazilian defender, who extended his record as the most decorated player in PSG history.
High-Profile Goalkeeper Shake-Up
Chevalier’s arrival came after coach Luis Enrique sanctioned Donnarumma’s departure, a move that has sparked controversy and led to speculation the Italian is set to join Manchester City. Donnarumma’s public outburst on social media further fueled transfer rumors.
