UDINE, Italy (BN24) — Paris Saint-Germain claimed the 2025 UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday night, defeating Tottenham Hotspur 4–3 on penalties after a dramatic 2–2 draw at the Stadio Friuli.
Thomas Frank’s Tottenham appeared on course for their first Super Cup triumph after goals from Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero put them 2–0 ahead. But PSG mounted a stunning late rally, with Lee Kang-in pulling one back in the 85th minute and Gonçalo Ramos equalizing deep into stoppage time.
Van de Ven opened the scoring just before halftime, reacting quickest during a crowded goalmouth scramble to slot past PSG debutant goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier. Romero doubled the lead early in the second half, rising above the defence to head home after a mishandled cross.
PSG, outplayed for much of the contest, found new life late on. Lee’s precise finish from the edge of the box cut the deficit, before Ramos pounced in the fourth minute of added time to send the match directly to penalties under UEFA rules.
In the shootout, PSG held their nerve with four successful spot kicks, while Tottenham converted three. The decisive moment came when Spurs’ Mathys Tel saw his effort saved by goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, sealing victory for Luis Enrique’s side.
The win adds another European trophy to PSG’s cabinet, while Tottenham’s wait for continental silverware continues.
