Two goals in the end game are gone: new coach Frank hates his first game, Paris shockingly reverses to win the European Super Cup

1:14am, 15 August 2025【Football】

When the final whistle sounded, Tottenham's trophy seemed to have slipped from his fingers. Thomas Frank made his debut in coaching, and the North London team was infinitely close to the championship in the night in Istanbul, but was dragged into the abyss by Paris Saint-Germain in the last ten minutes and lost 3-4 in the penalty shootout.

First half: Setting the ball sets the world

On the opening 18 minutes, Vicario's long pass found Romero who was unmarked at the back point, and the latter headed back and Van der Fen scored in front of the goal - this is the first business card of the Dutch central defender in the Frank system. In the 48th minute, Polo's corner kick was accurately guided, and Romero headed the ball into the net in a small penalty area, 2-0, Tottenham seemed to have touched the trophy.

Midfielder: The old king abdicates, the new flag rises, and the side changes again. Romero's arms wraps his captain's armband - the first game after Son Heung-min left the team, the Argentinian swore his identity as leader with a goal. However, Paris's counterattack script is brewing.

The last ten minutes: Paris' Blue Riots

In the 85th minute, Li Gangren made a substitute for only three minutes, and a cloud-piercing arrow at the front of the penalty area won a goal. In the 4th minute of stoppage time, Ashraf passed the low pass from the right, Dembele swept the goal, Ramostoweeded the top - 2-2, the net trembled, and the hearts of Tottenham fans were broken.

Penalty: Fate's second joke

Romero's guess was successful, and Tottenham fans occupied one side of the stands like a tsunami. Vitina missed the first free throw, and Tottenham seemed to see the dawn. However, Van der Fen and Terr lost one after another, and Donaluma even made a pounce, and Paris had reversed 4-3. Louis Enrique ran wildly to celebrate, Frank lowered his head and covered his face - he was only 240 seconds away from a good start in the all-time class.

Outside the camera

• This is the first time since winning the Europa League in May, Tottenham has been so close to the trophy, but once again experienced the fate of "a breath away".

• Frank's 3-4-2-1 was nearly perfect 80 minutes ago: high pressing, wingback pick-up, and double center backs inserting in turn. But physical fitness and experience collapsed at the last moment, giving young coaches a lesson.

• PSG returns with the fatigue of the Club World Cup in July, but shows its championship background in adversity - perhaps this is the puzzle that Tottenham still lacks. The night wind in Istanbul swept across the trophy, reflecting not Spurs' carnival, but Paris' blue and white ocean. Frank looked up at the stars and realized for the first time: in North London, glory and heartbreak are often only one stoppage time.
