00:00Khalifa, but the fans stole the show. I know Liverpool won the game, but wow.
00:04I think that part of the world, that is what they do. No matter what it is, there's a real passion, especially football.
00:11I mean, this was all part of the build-up to the World Cup 2022. There was a fan part.
00:16You were thinking, well, the Liverpool fans, they're going to outnumber them. Not at all. It was the opposite way.
00:21And you think of the travelling, and you look at football fans as a whole, what they do for the love of the game.
00:26And sometimes you look at players in certain positions, you would do the same, Didier, and you just think, wow, I'm going to watch him.
00:34As soon as you see him, you're on the edge of your seat.
00:37Five changes for Paris from the side that beat Mets.
00:42Nuno Mendes, Marquinhos, Jean Neves, Douay and Kovaric-Skelia all coming in from that league tie at the weekend.
00:53Are you happy with the line-up, Didier? Is that your winning team right there?
00:56I mean, look at the bench, if you need options.
00:59Look at the bench, yeah.
01:00Great to see Dembele on there.
01:02In Henrique Inn as well, Bruno Henrique's in, the captain, the 34-year-old leading the line.
01:10Danilo drops to the bench, as does Everton.
01:13So, big call there from Philippe Luis, the man who scored the goal against Palmeiras,
01:19which got them here in the first place.
01:21Danilo on the bench tonight.
01:23It is an old side.
01:24Look at Jorginho in there.
01:25I mean, it's a great story his.
01:27He's gone from Arsenal, where he didn't win anything,
01:30to going to Flamengo and picking up four trophies, including Copa Libertadores.
01:34One of the few players to win Champions League and Copa Libertadores.
01:38It's great.
01:39Paris Saint-Germain against Flamengo to be the best of the continents.
01:47The 2025 FIFA Intercontinental Cup Final is underway.
01:52Paris Saint-Germain against Flamengo.
01:54Flamengo, here he is now, skipping, dancing, but caught out.
02:02Flamengo desperate for some possession, but it's not the best ball back.
02:05It could be the first corner of the match.
02:07Rossi clears it, but only into danger.
02:10Oh, what an opening goal.
02:12The punishment severe for Rossi.
02:15He's short-lived.
02:17We'll have a look back.
02:18But Flamengo playing themselves into trouble.
02:22In fact, they're claiming the ball was out.
02:24It's an oddity.
02:28Because he made such an effort to keep it in.
02:32Fabi de Ruiz with a brilliant bit of inspiration for his country.
02:38I think the goal may be ruled out, but it's whether our team can say definitively
02:44that it's for Brazilian as well as Parisian fans.
02:48After review, the ball was outside of the field.
02:57The restart is corner kick.
02:59A little bit of risk being taken.
03:04Flamengo get the break of the ball.
03:08First time they can really try and bring a threat.
03:11Flag stays down.
03:13Enrique with the cutback.
03:16They want to try and get the shot away.
03:17Blocked.
03:19And kept alive.
03:20Pulgar fires it through, but Safanov right behind it.
03:27Tough shift for the Paris Saint-Germain front three.
03:33Nuna Mench.
03:34Forward run from Vetinja.
03:36It's fine beautifully.
03:37And his flick deflects neatly into the pass of Mayulu.
03:42His first involvement.
03:43Desiree Dewey across.
03:44Rossi with the touch.
03:46Well, he may not have been involved much, but he's made a telling contribution.
03:52He spread it to Desiree Dewey.
03:54At first time, it looked like it might go out of his way.
03:58But Rossi has pushed it into the path.
04:01The Georgia had to.
04:02Well, that's Brookie Kyliford there.
04:11Arascheta, he's got down under a challenge.
04:14The four-in goal scorer in the club's history.
04:17And I think this will be a penalty for the challenge from Marquinhos.
04:22Well, he has to take the responsibility, having seemingly won the spot kick.
04:33If our matchday official agrees.
04:36Five of BFG.
04:37Committed a triple foul.
04:39Five of decision penalty.
04:42Just past the hour mark.
04:43Georginou against Safanov.
04:46The skip.
04:47The jump.
04:48The equalizer.
04:51Expertly taken.
04:53As he sent Safanov the wrong way.
04:59Georginou.
05:00Set pieces.
05:01As the ball whipped in.
05:05Ortiz this time.
05:07In the way.
05:08In by.
05:09In Jaddu.
05:11Decides to take it on.
05:12He wasn't a million miles away from being the Paris Saint-Germain hero.
05:18The final whistle sounds.
05:20Paris Saint-Germain and Flamengo.
05:23Face penalty kicks.
05:24To see who will be.
05:27The FIFA Intercontinental Cup winners.
05:31The FIFA Intercontinental Cup winners.
05:32So, Delacruz up against Safanov.
05:38And he smashes in.
05:40No wonder they cheer.
05:46The Uruguayan.
05:46The Uruguayan smashing true.
05:54Safanov going the wrong way.
05:58Tottenham had taken the lead with PSG's first penalty.
06:02He steps up again here in Qatar.
06:05The Portuguese against Rossi.
06:12This time he makes no mistake.
06:14The Parisiennes behind the goal.
06:25Marquinhos won the right to be in front of their own.
06:29The left foot of the Spaniard.
06:37But it's stopped by Safanov.
06:39Originally brought as an understudy to Donnarumma.
06:41Has been the understudy to Lucas Chevalier.
06:46But injury to the French international.
06:49On his right foot.
06:53Oh, he's played it over the bar.
06:57Having taken that award.
06:58But he's not been playing enough football through injury.
07:01Pedro steps up to the plate.
07:09Didn't really have a sniff.
07:11Since coming off the substitutes bench.
07:14And he's been denied by Safanov.
07:21Oh, he might just.
07:24In 2025.
07:26No problem.
07:28At least not from the spot.
07:30From the Portuguese wing back.
07:35Oh, he's fired it straight to Safanov.
07:38Who stood tall.
07:42He steps up.
07:44Oh, Rossi with a huge hand.
07:46In keeping Flamengo alive.
07:55Well, he was going down.
07:57He has to net here.
08:00Oh, Paris Saint-Germain are going to win the trophy.
08:04Madfai Safanov, the hero.
08:09Undisputed.
08:10And the Russian has gifted Paris Saint-Germain their first global title.
08:19A continental trophy.
08:22The Paris Saint-Germain had never yet faced an opportunity to win.
08:26Now, they are the official FIFA Intercontinental Cup champions for 2025.
08:32A sixth trophy of the calendar year.
08:36A sixth trophy of the calendar year.
