The match went to penalties, where PSG narrowly won 4-3.
The Spurs' impressive performance against the Champions League winners showed their potential in Europe. They displayed defensive resilience and attacking threat throughout the match, matching PSG physically and tactically until the very end. This was a significant demonstration of capability from Tottenham as Europa League winners challenging the Champions League holders.

Frank, who joined Tottenham from Brentford in the close season, took charge of his first match as manager in this high-profile encounter. He believes the team can be "adaptable and pragmatic," and has confidence in their ability to play against any team in the world.
