Watch Paris Saint-Germain Vs. Stade Rennes FC Live Stream: French Trophée Des Champions, Start Time, Preview

Paris Saint-Germain have won the last six French Ligue 1 championships, and the capital-based club have also won six French Trophée Des Champions — sometimes called the French Super Cup — titles in a row as well. They will try to make it seven in Trophée Des Champions matches when they face Stade Rennes FC, who finished 10th on the Ligue 1 table last season but nonetheless made it to the final of the Coupe de France tournament. This game saw them manage to hold PSG to a draw and win the match on a penalty kick shootout.

Now, PSG’s young superstar Kylian Mbappé says “there’s definitely a little bit of revenge in the air” for the French champs, according to Ligue1.com. On Saturday, the two teams meet again in the Super Cup, a match pitting the league champion against the domestic cup winner that will live stream from China.

Since 2009, the French Super Cup has been played outside of France, despite being the official opening of the French season, as Ligue1.com recounts. The match returns to China, where it will take place on Saturday, for the third time after taking place in Beijing in 2014 and last year in Shenzhen. Seven different countries on four continents have hosted the match since the Trophée Des Champions began its world tour.

The game will also be a test for PSG, to see how the ongoing transfer drama around Brazilian superstar Neymar Jr. affects the club now that matches that count are finally beginning. Though 20-year-old prodigy Mbappé, who tallied 39 goals in 43 games for Paris Saint-Germain last season, has effectively made Neymar a spare part, per Sports Mole, France’s 2018 World Cup-winning star says he wants the Brazilian to stay in Paris.

“I want him to stay and I’ve told him what I think of the situation, it’s clear for me,” Mbappe said on Saturday in Shenzhen, per Goal.com. “He’s an important player here and I want him to stay.”
