- PSG 5-3 Tottenham : Vitinha 45’, 53’, 76’, Ruiz 59’,
Paris Saint-Germain survived a chaotic night at the Parc des Princes, edging Tottenham 4–3 in a match where control often gave way to pure chaos.
From the opening whistle, PSG laid siege to the Spurs’ penalty area. Tottenham, sticking to its usual big-game 5-3-2 block, clogged the central lanes and forced Paris into crosses and speculative long-range attempts. Spurs struck first on a devastating counter: Bergvall’s brilliant back-heel released Archie Gray down the right, and the youngster squared for Randal Kolo Muani—on loan from PSG and cleared to play—who teed up Richarlison for an easy tap-in.
Paris restored order just before halftime. Vitinha, afforded too much space 25 yards out, unleashed an unstoppable strike that left Vicario rooted.
The second half turned into a basketball game. Spurs reclaimed the lead through Kolo Muani, who punished PSG’s passive defending. But Vitinha, in one of the finest displays of his Paris career, seized the match. The Portuguese midfielder completed a spectacular brace with another long-range rocket before calmly converting a penalty to put PSG two goals ahead. Between those goals, Fabián Ruiz had also found the net, while Kolo Muani struck again late to give Spurs faint hope.
PSG ultimately held on, ending a wild encounter where structure was often absent but resilience proved decisive. Paris lacked control—but never lacked a response.
