PSG vs Tottenham Hotspur: UEFA Super Cup 2025 Showdown
PSG and Tottenham Hotspur will clash in the 2025 UEFA Super Cup, the first major European trophy of the 2025-26 season. The two sides arrive in contrasting form and preparation.
PSG, winners of last season’s Champions League, face questions over fitness after a demanding 2024-25 campaign, which included almost every domestic title but ended with a 4-0 defeat to Chelsea in the Club World Cup final. Coach Luis Enrique’s squad has not yet played a pre-season friendly to fine-tune sharpness ahead of this final.
Tottenham, Europa League champions, are making their Super Cup debut. Manager Thomas Frank has prepared the team with six pre-season matches, including two wins and a tough 4-0 loss to Bayern Munich, giving them valuable match practice.
The clash also recalls PSG’s toughest European setback: a 9-2 aggregate loss to Juventus in the 1997 Cup Winners’ Cup final, with a 6-1 home defeat and a 3-1 loss in Italy. Luis Enrique’s side will be eager to rewrite history and claim the trophy.
This match will mark PSG’s sixth encounter with an English club in 2025, having faced Manchester City, Liverpool, Aston Villa, Arsenal, and Chelsea in competitive fixtures. PSG will aim to lift their first silverware of the new season and erase memories of recent defeats to Premier League sides.
