This is a scenario that Luis Enrique would undoubtedly like to avoid. While his men have been playing matches at an infernal pace since the start of the season, the Paris Saint-Germain coach is certainly hoping to complete the Intercontinental Cup final in 90 minutes, scheduled for this Wednesday against Flamengo (6 p.m.).
But what will happen in the event of a tie at the end of regulation time? According to the competition regulations issued by Fifa, Vitinha and his partners will not escape overtime and will have to fight for an additional 30 minutes. If the two teams still cannot decide between themselves, the trophy will be decided by a penalty shootout.
Paris aims for a historic sextuplet
With a view to protecting players, who have regularly denounced in recent years a schedule that is too heavy, certain competitions have decided to eliminate overtime and go directly to the penalty shootout if the score is equal at the end of the regulation 90 minutes. This is particularly the case of the Coupe de France, organized by the FFF. Fifa therefore decided otherwise.
As a reminder, the Intercontinental Cup brings together the champions of each of the six continental confederations every year. As winner of the Champions League, PSG has the chance to enter the competition directly in the final and could become the first French club crowned in the history of the competition. The challenge will also be to win a historic sixth title to complete an exceptional year 2025.
