What Irish TV channel is PSG vs Spurs on? Stream, kick-off time and odds for UEFA Super Cup
A Premier League rival have given Spurs some grounds for optimism PARIS PAIR What Irish TV channel is PSG vs Spurs on? Stream, kick-off time and odds for UEFA Super Cup THOMAS Frank's first competitive game in charge of Tottenham Hotspur is a big one as they take on Champions League winners PSG. The style with which both sides booked their places in this traditional season curtain-raiser couldn't have been much different. After all, while the Ligue 1 giants dismantled Inter Milan 5-0 in the biggest game in European club football, Spurs ground out a 1-0 victory against a dire Man United team to win the Europa League. Here's everything you need to know about how to catch tonight's fixture: WHAT TV CHANNEL IS PSG VS SPURS ON? The match will be shown live on TNT Sports 1. That means only subscribers with the British broadcaster will be able to stream it via the TNT Sports Player. Kick-off from the Blueenergy stadium will be at 8pm Irish time. That's the home of Italian club Udinese and is located in the north-east of the country. WHAT ARE THE ODDS? Luis Enrique's men are 2/5 to end up lifting the trophy on the night while the Londoners are 6/1. You can back them to finish level after 90 minutes at 15/4. PRE-MATCH TALKING POINT Yves Bissouma has been axed from Tottenham's Super Cup showdown. Frank revealed the midfielder will play no part in Wednesday's match for disciplinary reasons. Bissouma was left at home as the rest of his Tottenham teammates travelled to Udine, Italy for today's battle. And new Spurs boss Frank said: "Bissouma has not travelled with the team because of disciplinary reasons. He has been late several times and the latest time was one too many. 'With everything you need to give your players a lot of love but also have demands and there also need to be consequences and this time there was a consequence for that. "For me there has been, how can I say it, a consequence for this trip and then I will follow up when I come home. I will park it now because there is a relatively important game for tomorrow. Carabao Cup introduces popular new feature on 24 teams' shirts as Arsenal are brutally trolled "The captain will be announced for the squad tomorrow. The leadership group will be named at the end of this month." Bissouma's absence now raises questions over his future, with the 28-year-old having just a year left on his contract. He joined Spurs from Brighton for £30million in 2022 and has since clocked up 100 appearances. However, Bissouma started just one pre-season match under Frank against Luton Town. 1 PSG were walloped 3-0 by Chelsea in the final of the Club World Cup on July 13 Credit: Alamy And the arrival of Joao Palhinha on loan from Bayern Munich could now see his spot in the side gone for good. Pape Matar Sarr, Rodrigo Bentancur, Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall make up Spurs' other midfield options. Frank had been hoping to add Morgan Gibbs-White to the mix after meeting his release clause. But following resistance from Nottingham Forest, the England midfielder eventually signed a new contract to stay at the City Ground. Instead, Spurs are now pursuing a deal for Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze.

Shelbourne ready to go again for next European assignment
It was a case of so close, yet so far as Shelbourne's Europa League dream ended on a dramatic and memorable night at Tolka Park, yet ambitions of Conference football will now become the focus of attention. The surprise 2-1 away win against Croatian champions Rijeka meant Joey O'Brien's side entered the third qualifying round second leg full of hope. The visitors demonstrated their class with some superb goals on Irish soil, but Mipo Odubeko's penalty, after a lengthy VAR consultation, appeared to send the game to extra-time and keep alive the League of Ireland side's hopes of a €3.8m windfall if they could finish the job off. Ante Orec, however, proved to be the villain at Tolka Park, blasting into the bottom corner in the 90th minute to consign Shels to the Conference League play-offs. Speaking to RTÉ Sport's Tony O'Donoghue after the game, Shels midfielder Kerr McInroy lamented the outcome. "We're really disappointed with the result. They're obviously a really good side and showed that," he said. "It was a difficult game. I thought we did ourselves proud over the two legs, but it wasn't to be." Just three minutes into the contest and loud calls for a penalty after visiting goalkeeper Martin Zlomislic collided with Ali Coote fell on deaf ears. Referee Marian Barbu however was uninterested and it was Rijeka that would open the scoring. "We wanted to start the game well, and we did that," the Scottish midfielder said. "That was a big chance for us, but it wasn't to be. They got the first goal, and it was a sucker-punch for us." On the flip side, Mipo's 86th-minute penalty shifted the momentum back to the hosts as the home crowd started to consider extra-time and penalties to settle the tie. "It was a bit bizarre," he said of the lengthy VAR wait before awarding the penalty. "It felt like it went on forever. Once they went to the monitor, I had a gut feeling it would be given. When it went in, the place was rocking and I felt the momentum switched to us, but it wasn't to be." Now Shels will meet Linfield, who they overcame in a Champions League qualifier last month, or Faroese outfit Vikingur for a far more winnable game and Conference League group combat after 10 matches to get there. The Europa League exit – particularly the manner of it – will hurt, but the 24-year-old is already looking to the next European opportunity. "We'll see how that tie (between Linfield and Vikingur) pans out, but it's another opportunity after we'll dust ourselves down from this. "That's what we're looking forward to now."

Maddison vows to bounce back from ACL misery
Heartbroken Tottenham midfielder James Maddison has vowed to come back from the 'lowest low' after he had successful reconstruction surgery on the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. Maddison suffered a serious knee injury during Spurs' pre-season friendly with Newcastle in Seoul on August 3. It occurred months after a different knee issue ruled Maddison out of Tottenham's Europa League final triumph over Manchester United in May and despite being set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines during a World Cup year, the 28-year-old promised to silence those who 'mock' his misfortune. 'Lowest low I've ever had,' Spurs vice-captain Maddison said on X along with a picture of him on a hospital bed surrounded by his three children. 'Heartbroken at the fact this injury has occurred at this time in my career. With the Super Cup tomorrow, the Premier League season on the horizon, the exciting Champions League campaign and it being a World Cup year for England it all feels very very cruel but nevertheless the ACL reconstruction surgery was successful. 'To all my close friends and family, your support and love means absolutely everything to me. 'To those of you who have gone out of your way to message on social media platforms in support of me and my recovery even when we don't know each other personally, I appreciate you all more than you'll ever know so thank you. 'And lastly to those of you who doubt, hate and mock. You truly motivate me to levels I didn't know I had inside of me so again, thank you. See you all on the other side.' Maddison is expected to be sidelined for around nine months, but it may take up to a year and a half for the seven-cap England international to return to his previous best level - after he scored 12 times in 45 appearances for Spurs in the 2024-25 campaign. Sports scientist Dr Rajpal Brar, who runs 3cb Performance rehab centres in Los Angeles and Valencia, said: 'This is typically an eight- to nine-month return to play process for elite footballers but also depends on the full extent of the injury. 'For return to pre-injury levels, I'm typically looking around the 18-month mark.'
