Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) staged a stunning late comeback to defeat Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Super Cup, triumphing 4-3 on penalties after a 2-2 draw in regulation time on August 13 at the Stadio Friuli in Udine, Italy. The match saw Tottenham, under new coach Thomas Frank, take a commanding 2-0 lead with goals from Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero before PSG struck back late in the match, keeping their hopes alive in front of their fans, according to Le Monde, Al Jazeera, and AA.

In a dramatic turn of events, substitute Lee Kang-in netted for PSG in the 85th minute, followed by Gonçalo Ramos scoring an equalizer deep into stoppage time, setting the stage for a tense penalty shootout. PSG’s performance in the shootout saw them recover after Vitinha’s initial miss, capitalizing on Tottenham's failures as Nuno Mendes scored the decisive penalty, thus sealing PSG's victory, as reported by Africa News and AA.

PSG's captain Marquinhos revealed after the match, “I am proud. We haven’t much preparation, but you could see that football is not only about the physical aspect – it’s also about the mental aspect,” emphasizing the tactical comeback against a Spurs team that initially dominated the match, according to Al Jazeera.

Notably, this victory marked the first time a French club claimed the UEFA Super Cup and added to PSG's already impressive trophy count in 2025, highlighting their strong start to the season following a disappointing loss to Chelsea in the Club World Cup final. PSG concluded the match with a total of five titles earned this year, as noted by Le Monde and Africa News.
