Paris Saint-Germain lifted its first UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday, defeating Europa League champions Tottenham Hotspur 4-3 on penalties after a dramatic 2-2 draw at the Stadio Friuli in Udine, Italy.
Tottenham, playing its first competitive match under new coach Thomas Frank, looked destined for the trophy after Micky van de Ven opened the scoring in the 39th minute and Cristian Romero doubled the lead just after half-time.
However, PSG mounted a stunning late fightback. Substitute Lee Kang-in pulled one back in the 85th minute, and Goncalo Ramos headed home the equaliser deep into injury time.
In the shootout, PSG overcame an early setback when Vitinha missed the opening penalty. New goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier kept his side in contention by saving from Van de Ven, while Mathys Tel fired wide for Spurs. Ramos, Ousmane Dembélé, and Lee converted for PSG before Nuno Mendes calmly slotted in the winner.
This marks the first time PSG — or any French club — has claimed the Super Cup, adding a fifth trophy to their 2025 haul. It also gives Luis Enrique’s side a perfect springboard into the new Ligue 1 season, which begins Sunday away to Nantes. Tottenham, meanwhile, will aim to bounce back when it hosts Burnley in its Premier League opener on Saturday.
