Paris Saint-Germain clinched their first Intercontinental Cup on Wednesday, overcoming Flamengo in Doha, Qatar. After a 1-1 stalemate concluding 120 minutes, the French side prevailed via a dramatic penalty shootout. The match pitted the Champions League title winners against Libertadores champions. PSG started strong, though Ruiz had a goal annulled by VAR. Kvaratskhelia eventually opened the scoring after a goalkeeping error.

In the second half, Flamengo leveled through a composed Jorginho penalty following a foul by Marquinhos. Luis Enrique introduced 2025 "The Best" winner Ousmane Dembélé, but the match proceeded to extra time without further goals.

The shootout was decisive. While Flamengo scored first, subsequent failures from Saúl, Pedro, Pereira, and Araujo proved fatal. Despite misses from Dembélé, fresh off winning the Ballon d'Or, and Barcola, successful conversions by Portuguese duo Vitinha and Nuno Mendes ensured the Parisians lifted the prestigious trophy, marking a triumphant night for the European giants.
