Zinédine Zidane attends Trophée des champions between Lens and PSG

Zinédine Zidane, the new head coach of the French national team, was present at the Bollaert stadium for the Trophée des champions featuring Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) against Racing Club de Lens. This event took place on Sunday, marking an official first mission for Zidane in his new role.

The match saw PSG suffer a defeat against Lens, with a final score of 1-0. Following the game, PSG player Achraf Hakimi shared his thoughts on the choice of venue, indicating that the match felt more like a Ligue 1 encounter than a final.

Hakimi suggested that the Trophée des champions should have been held at a neutral venue. This opinion appears to be shared by some Parisian supporters who chose not to travel to Bollaert due to their dissatisfaction.

The Trophée des champions, traditionally contested between the Ligue 1 champion and the winner of the Coupe de France, is a significant milestone for teams at the start of the season. The absence of Parisian ultras also sparked discussion around this event.
