Paris Saint-Germain won the championship and Enrique said: "This is a miracle."


Paris Saint-Germain won the 2025 European Super Cup after falling behind by two goals, ultimately defeating Europa League champions Tottenham Hotspur 4-3 on penalties. Afterward, PSG coach Luis Enrique described the victory as a miracle.


In the 39th minute of the game, Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Vicario kicked off, Van der Ven headed the ball, and Palinha's volley in the penalty area was blocked by Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Chevalier. Then Van der Ven made a follow-up shot and scored, helping Tottenham Hotspur to open the scoring with 1-0.


In the 48th minute of the second half, Pedro Porro's free kick found Romero in the box, extending Tottenham's lead to 2-0. In the 85th minute, Vitinha's pass from the top of the penalty area was met by Li Kangren, who fired home a long shot to help Paris Saint-Germain tie the game at 1-2.


In the second half stoppage time, Dembélé crossed from the penalty area and Gonzalo Ramos headed the ball into the goal, helping Paris Saint-Germain equalize the score at 2-2.


With the game tied in regular time, the match went into extra time. Gonzalo Ramos, Dembélé, Lee Kang-in, and Nuno Mendes scored in the penalty shootout, as Paris Saint-Germain defeated Tottenham Hotspur 4-3 at the Friuli Stadium to secure the title.


Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique said in an interview, "This is really crazy, this is the only adjective I can think of. I am really happy, but I don't think we deserve this victory because there is a big difference between Tottenham Hotspur and us. They have conducted a lot of training, while we have only conducted 5 training sessions. The gap is too obvious."


"It's a miracle and what makes me happy is that we still see the fans supporting the team as usual, even when we were behind 1-0 and then 2-0."


Luis Enrique continued, "Although I don't think we deserved to win the game, I must say that I am happy for all the players and especially for the fans. Winning this trophy is very important, although we would have preferred to rest and then think about next season."


"Playing in the UEFA Super Cup final is difficult because you have to win the Champions League or Europa League to qualify for this competition. It feels strange that our vacation was so short, but I have to say again that I am very happy for my players and we are champions!"
