Paris (Brussels Morning Newspaper) January 08, 2026 – Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique de Marseille have unveiled their starting lineups for the 2025 Champions Trophy final at Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium. PSG coach Luis Enrique deploys Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Désiré Doué, and Ousmane Dembélé in attack, with Warren Zaïre-Emery at right-back. Marseille fields Amine Gouiri up front under Roberto De Zerbi, with Benjamin Pavard holding his defensive position. The Classique kicks off at 7 p.m. French time on Ligue 1+, promising tactical intrigue on neutral ground.

Football enthusiasts await the clash as both teams finalise preparations one hour before kick-off. Official lineups circulate widely across social media platforms.

    Looks like PSG’s lineup is so stacked they could probably field a second team that would still be a contender! Marseille, bless them, must be hoping for a miracle or at least a generous referee. 😂
