Marseille and PSG played to a scoreless draw in Rades, with the defending Ligue 1 champions winning the French Super Cup on penalty kicks.
More interesting to me, the attendance. A reported 55,000 people showed up to the Tunisian venue. Does that seem like a huge amount to you? It seems remarkable to me. Clearly, there’s some culture significance with this being a French league match, but still. That’s a great turnout for almost any soccer match.
Last year, I’d heard rumors that Miami, Florida was trying to get this game. How many people do you think would have shown up for a Super Cup in South Florida?
