The 5th championship this year! Paris Saint-Germain writes a magical script

Tottenham dramatically lost the European Super Cup and staged an incredible ending

The European Super Cup staged a jaw-dropping match at the Bluenergi Stadium in Udinese. Tottenham Hotspur once led Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 in the 84th minute, but was then tied by his opponent for two consecutive goals, and eventually lost 3-4 in the penalty shootout, regrettingly missing the championship. Before the game, fans generally believed that Paris Saint-Germain would win easily, after all, their opponent was Tottenham, which ranked only 17th in the Premier League last season. Historical data also seems to be on the side of Paris - among the past 12 Champions League championships, 11 teams have successfully won the European Super Cup.

However, the game progress was completely unexpected. Tottenham showed excellent form and completely controlled the situation on the court. Their performance in the first half was even more calm than when they were in the previous Europa League final against Manchester United.

Under the leadership of head coach Thomas Frank, Tottenham did not allow his opponent to complete a shot in the first half. On the offensive end, North London teams frequently create threats through long shots and high altitude balls.

Paris new goalkeeper Lucas Schevalier was exhausted throughout the game. Although he saved Richarlison and Joao Palxinha's shots one after another, he still couldn't stop Van Devin from seizing the opportunity to score in the 40th minute.

If luck is better, Tottenham could have established a two-goal advantage at the end of the half. Before stoppage time in the first half, Richarlison's header hit the post hard, which shocked Paris fans in a cold sweat.

Just three minutes into the beginning of the second half, Tottenham once again used the high-altitude ball to expand the score. Pedro Polo made a cross, Christian Romero jumped high and headed the ball. Although Schevalier touched the ball with his fingertips, he still could not stop the ball from entering the net. This goal put the Paris fans in the stands into silence.

It was not until after losing the second goal that Paris woke up like a dream and began to push up. In the 67th minute, Bradley Balcola scored a close range, but the goal was invalid because Fabian Ruiz was offside. In the 71st minute, Dembele, a popular Golden Globes winner, pushed the ball directly to the stands, missing a good opportunity.

Paris did not finally break the deadlock until the 85th minute. After receiving the pass from his teammate, Li Gangren calmly pushed and shot on the edge of the penalty area, igniting hope for the team to make a comeback. In the final stage, Frank replaced the defensive player and tried to save the victory, but Tottenham failed to defend the advantage. In the 4th minute of stoppage time, Gonzalo Ramos headed the ball and tied the score to 2-2. Both sides entered a penalty shootout.

The first round penalty was scored, Vitinia was saved, and Tottenham had a chance to take the lead. But then Van Devin and Mattis Thiel lost consecutive penalty and ruined the situation. In the end, Paris won the penalty shootout 4-3 and won the European Super Cup.

After this game, Paris Saint-Germain achieved his historic "Five Champions League", including five important honors in the French Ligue 1, the Champions League, the French Super Cup, the European Super Cup and the French Cup. For Tottenham, this defeat from almost winning to losing is undoubtedly a pity.
