Ousmane Dembélé Shines as PSG Beat Tottenham and Win UEFA Super Cup
Paris Saint-Germain pulled off one of their greatest comebacks on Wednesday night, beating Tottenham Hotspur on penalties to win the UEFA Super Cup for the very first time. The match, played in Udine, Italy, ended 2–2 after 90 minutes before PSG held their nerve to seal a 4–3 win in the shootout.
Tottenham had looked comfortable for most of the game. Goals from Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero gave them a two-goal lead, and with just minutes left on the clock, many believed the English side had the trophy in their hands.
But PSG refused to give up.
In the 85th minute, Lee Kang-in produced a stunning strike to spark hope. Then, deep into added time, Ousmane Dembélé delivered the moment of brilliance that changed everything. With a perfect cross into the box, he set up Gonçalo Ramos to head home the equaliser and drag the game into penalties.
The French champions stayed calm from the spot, with Nuno Mendes scoring the decisive kick. For Dembélé, he not only created the crucial goal but also converted his penalty and was later named UEFA’s Player of the Match for his outstanding performance.
PSG captain Marquinhos praised the team’s fighting spirit, while coach Luis Enrique admitted the win was a big statement for the club, especially as it came early in the season. The victory also marked history, making PSG the first French club ever to lift the UEFA Super Cup.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
