The poster is now official: the next Champions Trophy will oppose Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique de Marseille. A meeting still expected between the two historic rivals of French football, which will compete for the first title of the coming season. If the date and the place remain to be determined, the duel already promises a strong intensity and a particular flavor, as the symbolic issue exceeds the simple frame of a trophy.
PSG, by winning both the French championship and the French Cup, produced the national double. In this case, the regulations provide that the Champions Trophy is disputed between the winner of the double and the second in Ligue 1. Thanks to his second place acquired in the league, OM thus won his ticket for this prestigious meeting. This clasico in neutral terrain will ideally launch the 2025-2026 season, with a Paris on one side in search of continuity at the top, and on the other an ambitious Marseille, eager to shake up the established order.
