THANKS FOR JOINING US
That’s all from us tonight as PSG wrapped up a record tenth Trophee des Champions triumph.
Neymar marked his return from injury with a goal, in the first time the two sides faced off since FIVE men were sent off in Marseille’s 1-0 win in September.
Next up for PSG is a trip to Angers on Saturday as they bid to go top of the Ligue One table.
They’re currently a point behind table toppers Lyon.
Marseille meanwhile host bottom of the table Nimes, looking to close the gap on the leaders.
They’re eight points off the top in sixth place, but have two games in hand on all five teams above them.
That’s all for now though.
Thanks for joining us, it’s been a pleasure.
ALL SMILES
Could this be the start of something special at PSG?
It’s the Champions League trophy that they really crave in Paris after losing out in the final last year, and if Mauricio Pochettino can manage his superstars well, PSG could become a force to be reckoned with.
PS-GLEE
So PSG win their eighth consecutive Trophee des Champions, and with it earn Mauricio Pochettino his first piece of silverware as a manager in just his third game in charge.
Mauro Icardi netted in the first half to put PSG ahead, before a Neymar penalty seven minutes from time seemingly wrapped things up.
Dimitri Payet pulled one back though for Marseille in the 89th minute to set up a grandstand finish, but in the end PSG saw the game out comfortably.

So PSG win the Trophee des Champions for an eighth successive year.
Icardi put Les Parisiens in front in the first half, before Neymar scored from the spot to make it 2-0.
Dimitri Payet scored with two minutes left of the ninety to make things interesting, but PSG comfortably played out injury time and take the trophy back to Paris.

PSG 2-1 MARSEILLE!
PSG WIN THE TROPHEE DES CHAMPIONS!
PSG 2-1 MARSEILLE
95. CHANCE!
Payet delivers a low cross from the left onto the foot of Thauvin on the edge of the box.
It’s on his stronger left foot, but he blazes over, and that may well be that.
PSG 2-1 MARSEILLE
95. Marseille win a throw in on the right wing, which will be launched long into the box.
It fails to beat the first man though and PSG clear.
PSG 2-1 MARSEILLE
94. PSG yellow card.
Mbappe is into the book for throwing the ball away.
He thought Neymar was fouled but nothing was given and he threw the ball away in disgust.
PSG 2-1 MARSEILLE
93. PSG have the ball in the Marseille corner, exactly where they want it.
PSG 2-1 MARSEILLE
91. Sakai fancies his chances from the edge of the box.
He tries to whip the ball into the top corner, but it’s closer to going out of the ground in all honesty.
That’s a real waste.
PSG 2-1 MARSEILLE
90. FIVE minutes of added time are signalled by the fourth official.
We could be in for a grandstand finish.
PSG 2-1 MARSEILLE
90. PSG substitution.
Sarabia is replacing Herrera as PSG try to wind down the clock.
PSG 2-1 MARSEILLE
89. They couldn’t, could they?
Thauvin, who has been lively all night, drills a low cross along the six yard box towards Payet.
Payet gets in front of Marquinhos at the near post and pokes it past Navas.
Game on!
GOOOOAAAAAALLLL!
MARSEILLE HAVE PULLED ONE BACK!
PSG 2-0 MARSEILLE
87. PSG substitutions.
Pereira is coming on for Paredes, and Kean is replacing Icardi.
PSG 2-0 MARSEILLE
86. Neymar runs over and celebrates with Mauricio Pochettino on his way back to the halfway line.
If Pochettino can get the best out of him, PSG could go one better than last season and finally win the Champions League.
GOOOOAAAAAALLLL!
NEYMAR SENDS PEPE THE WRONG WAY AND THAT SHOULD BE GAME OVER!
PSG 2-0 MARSEILLE!
