In the European Super Cup, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will be competing against Tottenham Hotspur, with the looming absence of goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) experienced a significant season in 2025, with multiple triumphs and a few challenges along the way.
The highlight of their campaign came in the Champions League final, where they defeated Inter Milan 5-0, securing their first-ever Champions League title on May 31st [6]. This victory came shortly after winning the French Super Cup at the start of the year [7].
In the Club World Cup, PSG reached the final but lost to Chelsea [1]. Despite this setback, the team's impressive performance throughout the season earned them a nomination in the team of the season category [10].
The squad also tasted success in the Coupe de France, adding another trophy to their collection [8]. However, one of the season's most notable events was the departure of goalkeeper Gigi Donnarumma, who announced his exit from the club on social media on Wednesday [9]. Donnarumma's tenure with PSG ended due to contract issues, as he refused to sign an extension and is now seeking a transfer [4].
PSG's manager, Mauricio Pochettino (Enrique), was nominated for the coach of the year award [11]. Despite losing Donnarumma, the club managed to secure the signing of Lucas Chevalier from Lille for €40m, who could make his debut in goal for PSG [5].
Meanwhile, in the English Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur had a successful season, culminating in their Europa League win. This marked their first piece of silverware since 2008 [4]. Thomas Frank replaced Ange Postecoglou as head coach of Tottenham, and Frank refused to accept his team were the underdogs in their upcoming matches [3].
However, Tottenham faced a setback with six key players missing due to injuries [4]. Despite this, they managed to overcome these obstacles and secured their Europa League win under Frank's leadership. Postecoglou left Tottenham after their Europa League triumph [2].
The season was not without its challenges for PSG, as they also missed the services of defender Yves Bissouma, who was left in London for disciplinary reasons [4]. Nonetheless, the team's successes far outweighed these setbacks, making 2025 a memorable year for PSG.
