PSG vs Tottenham live: Latest team news and updates from Uefa Super Cup final – UK Times

We’re expecting line-ups out any minute – stay tuned!

Centre-back Romero had been the subject of speculation over a possible move away early in the window yet has remained, and has been installed as Son’s replacement by Thomas Frank.

As reported in the Independent’s ‘Inside Football’ newsletter on Friday, Spurs have ramped up interest in the 27-year-old after the injury to James Maddison, amid a widespread belief that the saga might finally come to a head by the start of the Premier League season. That would coincide with the expiration of Eze’s release clause for this window.

Arsenal have long been interested in Eze, and are viewed as the Crystal Palace player’s first preference, but the fact that no proper transfer bid has yet materialised means there is a chance for Spurs to move forward.

They were European finals that could both be described as historic without accusations of exaggeration. Paris Saint-Germain qualified for Wednesday’s Super Cup by ending their long quest to win the Champions League, becoming the first French club in more than three decades to conquer Europe and, in their 5-0 demolition of Inter Milan, delivering one of the great final performances. It could rank with Barcelona’s evisceration of Manchester United in 2011 or AC Milan’s 4-0 humiliation of Barcelona’s Dream Team in 1994. It was a statement. It was unforgettable.

Spurs are entitled not to care about the carping. A club increasingly defined by not winning anything claimed a continental trophy, a place in the Champions League and, it soon transpired, a meeting with PSG in Udine.

There is no extra time period if there is a draw in 90 minutes. If the scores are level after 90 minutes, the match goes straight to penalties.

Real Madrid are the current Uefa Super Cup holders, having beaten Atlanta 2-0 in Warsaw in August 2024.

Madrid have won the trophy a record six times, with Barcelona and AC Milan winning it five times and Liverpool four.

The Uefa Super Cup is a match that pits the winners of the Champions League against the winners of the Europa League to decide the ‘best’ team in Europe.

According to Uefa, the match was “devised by Dutch reporter Anton Witkamp” for this purpose, and has been contested by the winners of these two competitions since 2000. Before that, the Champions League winners used to face the winners of the Uefa Cup Winners’ Cup.
