What a surprise! PSG won the
French Cup (3-0). A one -way match without any suspense saw the men of Luis Enrique dominate the Stade de Reims on Saturday evening at the Stade de France. The case had been folded in three minutes, the time of the double of Barcola in the first period (16th, 19th), synonymous with permanent break for his team leads (2-0).
This final parody will have benefited another team than that of the capital. OM is indeed ensuring the next edition of the Champions Trophy. Usually, the meeting opposes the winner of Ligue 1 that of the French Cup.
The PSG having succeeded in the double, his opponent is to be found in the classification of the championship, namely in second place. The diffuser therefore rubs his hands with a PSG-OM in perspective. We do not yet know the date but the match will not be competed this summer, before the start of the season, due to the participation of PSG in the Club World Cup (June 15-July 13).
A marketing match
The news will not make OM supporters leap with joy; First of all because the Champions Trophy is only an honorary title masking a commercial operation, the match frequently competing abroad to promote TV rights.
And then OM has much greater priorities than that of winning the Champions Trophy. The Marseille team hopes to exist as it is necessary in the Champions League while ensuring a new place on the championship podium in May 2026.
