Paris St Germain Beat Flamengo on Penalties to Win Intercontinental Cup

On Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain beat Flamengo to lift the FIFA Intercontinental Cup 2025 in Doha after a penalty shootout at Ahmad bin Ali Stadium, Al Rayyan.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia opened the scoring for PSG in the first half before Flamengo equalised from the spot when Jorginho converted after Marquinhos fouled Giorgian de Arrascaeta; neither side found a winner in extra time.
Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Matvei Safonov saved four penalties, denying Saul Niguez, Pedro, Leo Pereira and Luiz Araujo, and was hoisted into the air by PSG teammates.
The win completed Paris Saint-Germain's sixth major title of 2025 and secured their first global title, maintaining European teams' dominance in Intercontinental Cup finals.
FIFA revived the Intercontinental Cup last year after remaking the Club World Cup into a 32-team tournament, while Flamengo had won continental and domestic titles in recent weeks.
