After clinching the Champions League title, PSG secured a place in the 2025 UEFA Super Cup, where they will face Tottenham Hotspur, the reigning Europa League winners. Although the Parisian team enters with slight favoritism, the English side has made significant changes to its roster. These adjustments could position Spurs as a formidable opponent to challenge the French side.
With the departure of Son Heung-min, Tottenham have signaled a definitive restructuring of their squad. While they have strengthened the roster with the addition of African star Mohammed Kudus, their most impactful reinforcement is the arrival of coach Thomas Frank, widely regarded as one of the Premier League’s top tacticians. Furthermore, the acquisitions of Joao Palhinha and Kevin Danso are poised to enhance the squad’s defensive balance.
Paris Saint-Germain have solidified their status as one of the world’s elite teams, assembling a world-class roster across all areas. However, their greatest asset is the players’ versatility, allowing them to present an unpredictable challenge to opponents. Furthermore, Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue, both among the world’s top talents, promise to make a significant impact on the field against the English side.
PSG’s lineup vs Tottenham
Despite pushing their physical limits during the 2024-25 season, Paris Saint-Germain have remarkably avoided major injuries. However, head coach Luis Enrique will not have a full roster to choose from for the upcoming game. Joao Neves is sidelined following a suspension from his expulsion in the match against Chelsea, and goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma was left out of the squad due to compelling circumstances.
Given these circumstances, PSG will start with the following lineup: Lucas Chevalier; Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Willian Pacho, Nuno Mendes; Vitinha, Warren Zaire-Emery, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia; Desire Doue, Ousmane Dembele, Bradley Barcola.
Tottenham’s lineup vs PSG
Unlike PSG, Tottenham head into the UEFA Super Cup facing significant injury-related absences. Head coach Thomas Frank finds himself without the services of six key players: Kota Takai, Manor Solomon, Bryan Gil, Radu Dragusin, James Maddison, and Dejan Kulusevski.
With this in mind, the Spurs will line up as follows against PSG: Guglielmo Vicario; Pedro Porro, Kevin Danso, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Djed Spence; Joao Palhinha, Rodrigo Bentancur, Pape Sarr, Mohammed Kudus; Richarlison.
