Lucas Chevalier’s heroics were evident throughout the match, but it was during the penalty shootout that he truly shone, stopping multiple attempts from the OM side. After the game, Chevalier expressed his delight and highlighted the resilience and determination of his team. "I always stay measured because the past six months have been challenging, and the match was tough. When we conceded the 2-1 goal at the 85th minute, doubts crept in. But the team never gave up," he shared. Chevalier’s confidence in his penalty-saving abilities was clear: "I knew if we reached penalties, I would make the saves. I was determined to help my team and win this trophy."
A subtle jab at Marseille
After the match, Chevalier couldn’t resist a light-hearted dig at OM, saying, "The OM bench was celebrating, thinking it was over. But with PSG, it’s never over." His remark echoed the fierce rivalry between the two clubs, adding an extra layer of drama to the match.

PSG captain Marquinhos also took the opportunity to engage in some friendly banter. As the team celebrated on the field, Marquinhos remarked, "It was intense, it was tough. Credit to our opponents—they believed until the end but couldn’t succeed. What do we say? Champion, my brother!
