PSG Claim First Super Cup With Dramatic Penalty Shootout Win

Overcoming a two-goal deficit, PSG prevailed 4-3 on penalties after a 2-2 draw despite only a week of training.

Overview

  • Kang-in Lee’s 85th-minute strike and Gonçalo Ramos’s stoppage-time header turned a 0-2 deficit into a 2-2 draw
  • Lucas Chevalier made his debut five days after signing and delivered crucial saves in the penalty shootout that sealed PSG’s victory
  • PSG became the first French club to win the UEFA Super Cup with their shootout win over Tottenham in Udine
  • The win showcased PSG’s mental resilience but also exposed defensive lapses and fitness questions following minimal pre-season preparation
  • The triumph earns PSG €5 million in UEFA prize money and propels the champions into their Ligue 1 opener at Nantes later this week
