Lens clinched the Trophée des Champions with a 1-0 victory over PSG at Bollaert, showing resilience despite playing much of the match with ten men and without Odsonne Édouard and Samson Baidoo.

The decisive moment came in the middle of the second half when Florian Thauvin finished Matthieu Udol's cross to put Lens ahead, after Kyllian Antonio was sent off in the first half for a dangerous tackle and PSG created several high-tempo chances.

PSG will immediately shift focus to defending their Ligue 1 title, beginning at home against Rennes, while Lens arrive at the new season under Dino Toppmöller after securing the cup title by beating Nice in May.

Toppmöller stressed the need for better possession and ball recovery, noting several new signings require time to bed in and improve team cohesion.

Barcola and Mbaye were unavailable, and Enrique indicated transfer-market topics would wait until the window closes.

Enrique called the defeat useful for the mood and emphasized maintaining a competitive mindset and attitude in future fixtures.

Ismaël Ganiou and Abdallah Sima praised the group effort and hunger, acknowledging luck also plays a role in winning titles.

Toppmöller addressed the squad in the dressing room after the match, delivering a leadership-driven French-language message.

Reactions highlighted pride, heart, and confidence for the season, with cultural comparisons drawn between Lens and Eintracht Frankfurt.

The broadcast closed with player reactions and a look ahead to upcoming matches, including a Champions League qualifier between Fenerbahçe and Lyon.

Florian Thauvin, named captain this season, earned recognition for his decisive goal and leadership on the field.

IFAB rules require the expelled player to leave the playing area, which complicated Antonio’s post-match participation in the trophy presentation.
