Paris Saint-Germain won their 12th Trophee des Champions title by beating Toulouse in the final on late Wednesday night in Paris. Goals from Lee Kang-in and Kylian Mbappe helped them get off to a great start in 2024. The home team, PSG, got off to a great start and scored in just three minutes. Lee Kang-in scored the goal. Vitinha and Ousmane Dembele worked well together to set up Lee Kang-in, who scored the first goal with a side-footed shot. Even though Mbappe’s future with PSG is still uncertain, his strong goal in the 44th minute showed how valuable he is to the team. The forward got past three players and scored with a strong shot that ended the game in the first half.
A quote from boss Luis Enrique after the team’s win on the club’s website says, “The goal is always to win.” Finals are always special games where you have to be able to play better than the other team for 90 minutes. We played really well, too. It might have been the best game we’ve had together since we started working together. It’s too bad we couldn’t keep up the same level in the second half, but Toulouse played really well after the break. I’m feeling great. I’m really very happy. Christophe Galtier, the past coach, won the league to get us to this match, and we need to remember and honor him. I can win this Trophee des Champions because of him. Now, I hope this isn’t my last.” With the UEFA Champions League, Ligue 1, and the Coupe de France, PSG has had the best start to the new year possible.
