Tottenham played very well for most of the match, leading 2-0 with goals from Van de Ven and Romero. However, PSG equalized 2-2 thanks to Lee Kang-in (minute 85) and Goncalo Ramos (minute 90+4).
Entering the penalty shootout, PSG played better to defeat their opponents with a score of 4-3, thereby winning the European Super Cup. This is the next big title for the French team after winning three previous seasons ( French national championship, French National Cup and UEFA Champions League).
Tottenham played a great game; they are stronger than us. I don't know if it's a fair result, but that's football. We still have to improve. We have the ability to fight to the end, but we can still improve even more. Lucas Chevalier played excellently and I am very happy for him, said coach Luis Enrique after the match.
According to the Spanish strategist, in the first 80 minutes of the match, Tottenham deserved to win. The English team took a 2-0 lead and played tightly, causing PSG's stars to turn off the lights. Luis Enrique stressed that PSG were a bit lucky to score 2 goals in the final period of the match, to put the match in the penalty shootout.
If I have to say one thing to the team, which was very important last season, it is confidence. We believe that we can win anytime. I am very happy, although it does not seem fair to Tottenham, Luis Enrique added.
The European Super Cup match also marked the debut of goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier, to replace Gianluigi Donnarumma. Despite not playing impressively during the official match, Chevalier blocked Van de Ven's penalty kick, contributing significantly to helping PSG overcome their opponents in the 11m play series.
Its great. This was Chevalier's dream debut. The first game, the first title, a series of return shots that he was asked to make the difference. I am happy for him, because it has helped him feel like a member of the Parisian extended family, Ousmane Dembele said of his new teammate.
