Lore & Background
The match was a one-off European super cup final, not a rivalry fixture. Tottenham started strongly, building a 2–0 lead against the heavy favourites. However, PSG mounted a late comeback to draw 2–2, forcing the match to penalties. Tottenham ultimately lost the shootout. The result was part of a season that began positively for Spurs under new head coach Thomas Frank, who had won his first two league games including a marquee win over Manchester City away from home. The Super Cup performance was seen as competitive, but the late collapse foreshadowed the team's subsequent dramatic decline in form.
