Lens stunned Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 to deny the reigning European champions a second trophy in five days. Florian Thauvin scored the only goal in the first half, securing a win for the French champions. This victory adds to Lens' first ever French Cup title won in May. PSG's coach Luis Enrique expressed disappointment with his team's performance, acknowledging that Lens deserved more.
The match took place at Lens' Stade Bollaert-Delelis, where Lens had Kyllian Antonio sent off in the first half. PSG, who had recently won the UEFA Super Cup against Aston Villa, struggled to find their rhythm against the ten-man Lens side. Lens' new coach, Dino Toppmoeller, praised his team's performance, stating that they played with their usual intensity.
However, PSG will look to bounce back in their upcoming Ligue 1 title defense against Rennes, while Lens will aim to continue their strong start to the season.
