Tottenham Hotspur, on Wednesday night, lost the 2025 UEFA Super Cup in dramatic fashion, losing Paris Saint-Germain 4–3 on penalties after a pulsating 2–2 draw at the Stadio Friuli.
Thomas Frank’s side appeared to be cruising toward victory when goals from Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero put them 2–0 ahead, only for PSG to mount a stunning late comeback through Lee Kang-in and Gonçalo Ramos.
Spurs struck first just before halftime, Van de Ven reacting quickest amid a goalmouth scramble to fire past debutant PSG goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier.
Romero then doubled the advantage early in the second half, towering above the defence to nod home following a poorly handled cross.
PSG looked beaten until the closing minutes, when Lee Kang-in’s precise 85th-minute finish breathed life into Luis Enrique’s side.
In the fourth minute of stoppage time, Ramos pounced inside the box to level, sparking wild celebrations among the Parisian fans.
Under UEFA rules, the match skipped extra time and went straight to penalties.
Tottenham kept their composure, with Solanke, Bentancur and Dembélé finding the net, while goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario made the decisive save to deny Mathys Tel.
