“In football, the smallest margins create the biggest memories.”
Paris Saint-Germain claimed the UEFA Super Cup after defeating Tottenham Hotspur in a tense penalty shootout, following a 1-1 draw in regular time.
The match, played in front of a packed neutral crowd, was a showcase of skill, determination, and resilience from both teams. PSG opened the scoring midway through the first half with a precise finish, but Spurs hit back before halftime with a well-taken equaliser.
The second half and extra time were packed with drama — near-misses, big saves, and strong defensive work from both sides. Yet neither team could break the deadlock, pushing the game to penalties.
In the shootout, PSG stayed composed, converting all but one of their spot-kicks. Tottenham, however, missed twice under pressure, handing the French side their first UEFA Super Cup in over 20 years. Spurs were left frustrated, knowing they had their chances to win.
“We showed character and belief until the last kick,” said PSG’s captain after lifting the trophy. “This is a special night for the team and our fans.”
The win adds another major title to PSG’s growing collection and sets a confident tone for their upcoming European campaign.
