PSG: European Royalty Seeking Redemption
The reigning Champions League winners suffered their first defeat of the campaign three weeks ago when Bayern Munich left Paris victorious despite playing with 10 men for an entire half. That 2-1 loss ended PSG’s perfect record, but Luis Enrique’s side remain fifth in the 36-team table and firmly on course for automatic last-16 qualification.
Les Parisiens have responded emphatically domestically, winning their last two Ligue 1 matches, including Saturday’s commanding 3-0 triumph over Le Havre. That victory maintains their two-point cushion atop the Ligue 1 standings, proving they remain France’s dominant force even if they’re not quite the unstoppable juggernaut that conquered Inter Milan in last season’s final.

Tottenham: Crisis Mode After Derby Disaster
Sunday’s North London derby was supposed to be Eberechi Eze’s audition against the club that pursued him all summer. Instead, it became a nightmare for Spurs fans, who witnessed their former target score a historic hat-trick—the first ever in a Premier League North London derby—in a 4-1 Arsenal masterclass.
Thomas Frank’s defensive 5-2-3 setup was carved apart mercilessly, raising serious questions about his tactical approach. The defeat marked Tottenham’s third loss in their last five games, plunging them into a worrying slump at the worst possible time.
Yet there’s a silver lining: Spurs remain unbeaten in the Champions League with two wins and two draws. They’ve also kept clean sheets in five of their last seven European matches, though both their away Champions League fixtures this season have ended in draws.
Team News: Key Absences on Both Sides
PSG: Achraf Hakimi remains sidelined with the ankle injury sustained from Luis Diaz’s red card-worthy tackle. Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembele (calf) and Desire Doue (hamstring) are also out, though Bradley Barcola and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia are fit and ready to start.
Tottenham: Brennan Johnson is suspended after becoming the first British player to score and receive a red card in the same Champions League match. A lengthy injury list includes James Maddison (ACL), Radu Dragusin (ACL), Dejan Kulusevski (knee), Dominic Solanke (ankle), and Yves Bissouma (ankle).
The Verdict
This Super Cup rematch—which PSG won on penalties in August—could prove even more one-sided. Tottenham’s confidence is shattered, their squad decimated, and their tactical approach under scrutiny. PSG, despite missing key players, should dominate on home soil.
Predicted Score: PSG 3-1 Tottenham
