PSG chase 15th Trophy of Champions against Lens with arguments to make

Paris Saint-Germain will attempt to win their fifteenth Trophy of Champions this Sunday at 20:45 against RC Lens at the Bollaert stadium, according to *L'Équipe*. The Parisians arrive as favourites after their convincing victory in the UEFA Super Cup just four days ago.

PSG's theoretical superiority looks overwhelming, but Lens have ammunition of their own. The freshness of the Sang et Or and the backing of a Bollaert crowd famed as one of France's most passionate atmospheres could rebalance a tie that on paper points to Parisian dominance.

A trophy losing credibility

However, the ceremony is losing weight. The Trophy of Champions is played on erratic dates—sometimes in January, sometimes in August, one edition in Doha, another in Kuwait City—and this year returns to French soil in Bollaert. This instability has eroded its prestige, especially among ultras. Some Paris groups have even boycotted the trip to Lens, reflecting discontent with a trophy increasingly devalued.
