Tottenham's humiliating Super Cup loss cruelly mocked by Chelsea on social media moments afterward, courtesy of Thomas Frank's squad's mishap.
In a nail-biting UEFA Super Cup match, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) emerged victorious against Tottenham Hotspur, winning 4-3 on penalties after a dramatic 2-2 draw in regular time.
The match saw PSG and Chelsea trade the lead multiple times in the Club World Cup, with Chelsea ultimately winning 3-0. However, in the UEFA Super Cup, it was Tottenham Hotspur who took the early lead, thanks to a goal from Micky van de Ven in the first half.
Tottenham maintained their lead until the last five minutes of the match, when Lee Kang-in and Gonçalo Ramos scored for PSG to level the game and force a penalty shoot-out. In the shoot-out, PSG had the lead, but misses from Micky van de Ven and Mathys Tel allowed Chelsea to win.
Despite the difficult situation, PSG's manager, Luis Enrique, commended his team's ability to fight until the end of the match. He also praised Tottenham Hotspur, stating that they were stronger and better prepared. Luis Enrique thanked the fans for their support, regardless of the result, and expressed happiness about being able to offer them the UEFA Super Cup trophy.
Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur faced racial abuse on social media after Mathys Tel missed a penalty, which the club strongly condemned. In the aftermath of the match, Chelsea posted a reminder referencing their last encounter with PSG in a final, seemingly hinting at a connection or rivalry perspective after Tottenham's loss to PSG.
It's worth noting that PSG had just won the Champions League before the UEFA Super Cup match, and they had a short turnaround after the Club World Cup and summer holidays, training for only five or six days. Nuno Mendes scored the winning penalty for PSG at 10.09pm UK time.
Luis Enrique expects more from his players in the future, as they look forward to the new season. The victory marks a successful start for PSG, who will aim to defend their Champions League title this season.
