PSG vs Tottenham Super Cup: Match Overview
Just over a month after Chelsea ended Paris Saint-Germain’s unbeaten streak with a Club World Cup final victory, PSG face Tottenham Hotspur in Udine, Italy, for the European Super Cup 2025. PSG, winners of the 2025 Champions League, will take on Tottenham, who lifted the 2025 Europa League trophy at Stadio Friuli.
