On August 14, 2025 (Philippine time), Paris Saint-Germain claimed their first-ever UEFA Super Cup title, defeating Tottenham Hotspur 6-5 on penalties after a dramatic 2-2 draw in Udine, Italy. As last season’s UEFA Champions League winners, PSG faced Europa League champions Tottenham in the traditional curtain-raiser to the European football season. The victory completed a remarkable “quintuple” for PSG, adding the Super Cup to their 2025 trophies in Ligue 1, Coupe de France, Champions League, and Trophée des Champions.
Spurs’ Early Lead, PSG’s Late Response
Tottenham took a surprising lead in the 39th minute through Micky van de Ven, then doubled their advantage early in the second half with a header from Cristian Romero. PSG, however, mounted a late comeback. Lee Kang-in scored in the 85th minute with a long-range strike, and Gonçalo Ramos equalized deep into stoppage time from an Ousmane Dembélé cross.
In the penalty shootout, PSG missed first through Vitinha, but Tottenham failed to capitalize, with Van de Ven and Mathys Tel both off target. PSG ultimately prevailed 4-3 in the shootout, with Nuno Mendes calmly converting the decisive kick to seal the win. Dembélé, who provided the crucial assist for the equalizer, was named Man of the Match. This triumph also marked coach Luis Enrique’s second career quintuple in a single calendar year, having achieved the same feat with Barcelona in 2015.
