Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has reached the top of the 2025 Trope de Champion (France Super Cup). Lee Kang-in was absent due to injury, but he engraved another championship title in his career. It is the 10th victory in PSG alone.

PSG drew 2-2 with Marseille at the Jabeur Al-Ahmad International Stadium in Kuwait City, Kuwait, on the 9th (Korea time) and won 4-1 after a penalty shootout to lift the trophy.

The French Super Cup is a single-round competition between the winner of the previous season's professional football league 1 and the winner of the French Cup (Coup de France).

PSG came out on top of both the League 1 and the French Cup last season, and Marseille, the runner-up of League 1, played in the Super Cup instead, reaffirming its position as the strongest team as PSG defeated Marseille to reach the top of the podium.

With this victory, PSG has increased its Super Cup victory to four times in a row, which has been going on since 2022. PSG has been at the top 12 times out of the last 13 Super Cups. The only thing that recently missed the championship was the loss against the LOSC Reel in 2021.

Lee Kang-in was absent without being listed on the replacement list. He is rehabilitating after injuring his thigh muscle in the FIFA Intercontinental Cup final on the 18th of last month. Lee Kang-in scored the winning goal in the 2023-2024 Super Cup and also started in the 2024-2025 season, helping him win.

PSG broke the balance with Usman Dembele's first goal in the 13th minute of the first half, but allowed Mason Greenwood to equalize the penalty in the 31st minute of the second half, and then scored an own goal in the 42nd minute of the second half. However, PSG scored a dramatic equalizer from Gonzalo Hamus at the end of the second half extra time.

In the penalty shootout that followed, PSG's first to fourth kickers all succeeded, while goalkeeper Luca Schvalier saved a series of kicks from Marseille's first to second kickers, finishing the match with a penalty shootout score of 4-1.

With this victory, Lee Kang-in has won a total of 10 championships, including two in the French League, two in the Coupe de France, three in Trope de Champion, the UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup, in PSG alone. Including the Copa del Rey (King's Cup) in Valencia, it is his 11th career championship.
