Overview

• Tottenham grabbed a 2-0 lead through Micky van de Ven’s 39th-minute tap-in and Cristian Romero’s early second-half header before PSG struck back with Lee Kang-in’s 85th-minute finish and Gonçalo Ramos’s 94th-minute equaliser.
• The match went straight to penalties, where PSG won 4-3 after Vitinha’s miss, Chevalier saved van de Ven’s spot kick, Mathys Tel failed to score and Nuno Mendes converted the winner.
• Lucas Chevalier started ahead of Gianluigi Donnarumma, who remained sidelined over a contract dispute, and delivered crucial saves to swing the shootout in PSG’s favor.
• The victory lifts Paris Saint-Germain’s trophy haul to five in 2025, extending their dominance despite a shortened break following the Club World Cup final defeat.
• Tottenham’s first competitive match under Thomas Frank highlighted squad strains as James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski and Son Heung-min were absent through injury and transfers.
