Paris Saint-Germain tried their best, but they couldn't defend their 5th consecutive Trophée des Champions title. Lens played better than expected, PSG maybe weren't prepared for such a great performance from Lens, and that's why PSG couldn't score a goal even against a team of 10, PSG were much better in terms of possession on the field, PSG were much better in terms of attack, but despite being better in all aspects, the end result of the match was a very unexpected 1-0 defeat for PSG. It was really unacceptable.
This would have been PSG's 5th consecutive Trophée des Champions, after previously winning 8 consecutive Trophée des Champions titles, then losing to LOSCLille broke their streak, after which PSG won 4 consecutive Trophée des Champions titles again, and now they have their streak broken again by RC Lens, and this is RC Lens' first Trophée des Champions title.
The more reason why I still see that losing as nothing, despite the fact that Lens broke their winning streak, it doesn't still matter, because had it been Luis Enrique is really interested in that trophy Lens wouldn't have seen ball play, at least we've witnessed it so many times, I have said it before and I will still say it again, for any team in the French Ligue 1 to win a trophy there is because Paris Saint German is not interested on that trophy that season, this might sound funny but deep down it's the actual fact, if anyone doubt me, let's see how this season will go for them.
Like you, I believe in PSG that they are a very strong team and they are much stronger than Lens. But the way you think of the loss as PSG not being interested in winning the trophy, it actually becomes a little different.
Look, everyone expects to win a match, and especially when the match is a final match, there is no reason not to be interested in winning that match. I am also a PSG fan, but I think that PSG was basically not prepared for Lens' unexpected good performance, because if it was not, PSG would not have tried to attack so much. PSG had a lot of attacking efforts in the match and they fought until the very end, but Lens defended much better than expected with a team of 10 men, and PSG lost the trophy because they underestimating the team and Lens' unexpected much good performance.
