PSG Stage Thrilling Comeback to Clinch UEFA Super Cup Against Spurs

Paris Saint-Germain produced a dramatic turnaround to beat Tottenham Hotspur and lift the UEFA Super Cup, adding yet another piece of silverware to their growing collection.

For much of the night, it seemed PSG were heading for heartbreak. Thomas Frank’s Tottenham side stunned the Ligue 1 champions by racing into a 2-0 lead, with Micky Van de Ven and Cristian Romero both finding the net from well-worked set-pieces.

But just when Spurs began to smell glory, the French giants roared back. Lee Kang-in sparked hope with a thunderous strike that flew beyond the goalkeeper, dragging PSG back into the contest.

Extra time brought more drama as Ousmane Dembele whipped in a fierce cross that Goncalo Ramos expertly headed home for the equalizer. With the score locked at 2-2, penalties beckoned.

The shootout was tense, but decisive misses from Van de Ven and Mathys Tel proved costly. PSG held their nerve to seal victory, adding the Super Cup to the Champions League crown they claimed in June.

Opinion:
This was more than just a comeback—it was a statement of resilience. PSG, often criticized for faltering in high-pressure games, showed the grit of true champions. Tottenham, for their part, were bold, organized, and threatening, but their inability to close out the match will sting.

Football fans often talk about “mentality monsters,” and on this night, PSG wore that badge proudly. Winning ugly, winning late, or winning on penalties—it all counts. And for a team chasing European dominance, the psychological boost of back-to-back continental triumphs could be as valuable as the trophy itself.
