Tottenham Show Full Support for Mathys Tel After Online Abuse Following UEFA Super Cup
Tottenham Hotspur have issued a strong statement of support for forward Mathys Tel after the 20-year-old was subjected to racist abuse on social media. The incident occurred following Spurs’ penalty shootout defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup on August 13, 2025, a match in which Tel’s penalty was saved.
In their official statement, the club praised Tel’s decision to step up in the decisive moment, calling it an act of “bravery and courage.” Tottenham also made clear that they will work with the relevant authorities and social media platforms to identify those responsible and ensure appropriate action is taken.
“Tottenham stand with Mathys,” the statement read, reaffirming the club’s ongoing commitment to tackling all forms of discrimination.
The North London side stressed that they are determined to create a safe and respectful environment for all players and fans, both on and off the pitch.
The match itself ended 2-2 in regular time before PSG triumphed 4-3 in the penalty shootout.
