PSG vs Tottenham ended in a dramatic UEFA Super Cup showdown, with Paris Saint-Germain winning 4-3 on penalties after overturning a two-goal deficit in Italy.
Tottenham looked set for victory after taking a 2-0 lead early in the second half, but late strikes from Lee Kang-in and Goncalo Ramos forced the game into a shootout.
PSG’s Late Fightback → PSG vs Tottenham: Late PSG Fightback
Spurs took control when Micky van de Ven reacted quickly to score in the 39th minute after PSG goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier tipped Joao Palhinha’s shot onto the crossbar. The Premier League side doubled their lead shortly after the break, with newly appointed captain Cristian Romero heading home in the 48th minute.
Chevalier, starting ahead of Gianluigi Donnarumma following the Italian’s departure, could have done better for Romero’s goal. Tottenham, under new manager Thomas Frank, looked sharper throughout much of the match, having had more preparation time for the new season.

Penalty Shootout Drama
PSG’s Vitinha missed the opening penalty, but the French champions converted their next four spot-kicks. Tottenham’s Van de Ven and Mathys Tel both missed from the spot, sealing PSG’s victory. Nuno Mendes scored the winning penalty to secure the trophy.
