    Paris Saint-Germain secured a thrilling victory in the 2025 UEFA Super Cup, overcoming Tottenham Hotspur 4-3 in a penalty shootout following a 2-2 draw in regulation time at the Stadio Friuli in Udine, Italy. Tottenham seized a strong early lead with goals from Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero, leading 2-0 into the final moments of the match.



    However, PSG mounted an impressive late rally with Lee Kang-in scoring in the 85th minute and substitute Gonçalo Ramos equalizing deep into stoppage time, forcing the contest into penalties. Despite an early penalty miss by PSG’s Vitinha, the team maintained composure as Tottenham faltered with two missed penalties.  Nuno Mendes scored the decisive spot kick to clinch the trophy for PSG.



    This victory marks PSG’s fifth major trophy in 2025, highlighting their resilience and ability to perform under pressure. PSG's coach Luis Enrique had acknowledged that Tottenham deserved to win the title for much of the match but praised his team’s character and fortune in the final minutes. Tottenham boss Thomas Frank expressed disappointment but applauded his team’s effort and defensive discipline.



    PSG’s young goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier played a key role by saving a crucial penalty in the shootout, stepping up after Gianluigi Donnarumma's absence. The win adds the UEFA Super Cup to PSG’s growing list of accomplishments this season, underscoring their status as a dominant force in European football.
