Mauricio Pochettino secured the first trophy of his managerial career as Paris Saint-Germain edged past Marseille 2-1 in the Trophee des Champions on Wednesday.

Zenit St Petersburg star Andrei Arshavin said he would love to join Real Madrid, which is reportedly keen to sign him, if his club will let him go.
How could I not want to go to Real Madrid, it s a great team, one of the best, Arshavin told the AS sports newspaper published on Wednesday.
The only thing that I have said is that I want to leave Zenit next year at all costs and I think by the start of 2009 I will definitely be with another team.
I have not come out in favour of another club. The most important thing now is not whether Real Madrid wants me or not, but rather if Zenit will let me leave, said the striker, one of the revelations of Euro 2008.
AS said on Tuesday that Real want to sign the Russian on a six-month loan from January.

Valencia president Chan Lay Hoon believes forward Paco Alcacer had his heart set on Barcelona before his move to the LaLiga champions.
Alcacer, 23, completed a move to Barca on Tuesday, leaving his boyhood club in a deal that cost an initial €30million.
Chan was saddened by Alcacer s decision to leave the Mestalla, but said Valencia had little choice but to allow the Spain international to depart.
He was an icon, a symbol and had been with us since he was 11, she said.
But if someone who is an icon has his heart elsewhere, it makes no sense to turn them into an icon.
Alcacer scored 13 league goals for Valencia last season and 11 in 2014-15, leading to interest from elsewhere.
Chan said the club s intention was to keep Alcacer, who has…
