PSG seal comeback win over Spurs to win Super Cup
Luis Enrique's team have become the first French side to win this competition, with clubs from 13 different nations now having triumphed.
Both teams created chances early before the English side struck in the 39th minute. A long free kick into the box caused confusion, with Joao Palhinha's close-range shot tipped onto the post by PSG debutant goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier. Micky van de Ven pounced on the rebound to make it 1-0. Two minutes into the second half, Spurs doubled their lead when Pedro Porro's long free kick found an unmarked Cristian Romero at the far post. The Argentine's header slipped through Chevalier's hands to make it 2-0. PSG pressed for a response. In the 65th minute, Desire Doue was denied by Guglielmo Vicario before Bradley Barcola scored on the rebound, only for VAR to rule it out for offside. The breakthrough came in the 85th minute when Vitinha played the ball left to substitute Lee Kang-in, who controlled and fired a stunning strike from the edge of the box to pull one back.
Deep into stoppage time, Ousmane Dembele surged down the right and delivered a pinpoint cross for Goncalo Ramos to head in from close range, forcing a penalty shootout as the Super Cup has no extra time. In the shootout, PSG's Vitinha had his shot saved, Van de Ven's effort was stopped, and Mathys Tel missed for Spurs. Nuno Mendes converted the decisive kick to seal a 4-3 shootout win and a 6-5 victory overall.
The triumph capped a remarkable year for PSG, who have already won the French Super Cup, Ligue 1, French Cup and UEFA Champions League, and now the UEFA Super Cup. They will have the chance to complete a sextuple at the FIFA Intercontinental Cup in December

Nottingham Forest Sign French Forward Arnaud Kalimuendo From Rennes
French striker Arnaud Kalimuendo has signed a five-year contract with Nottingham Forest, the Premier League club announced on Monday. According to French media, the transfer paid to ex-club Rennes is believed to be at least 30 million euros ($35 million). "Nottingham Forest is delighted to announce the signing of Arnaud Kalimuendo, who joins the club on a five-year deal," read a statement on the English club's website. The 23-year-old came through the ranks at Paris Saint-Germain, before enjoying a breakthrough season at Ligue 1 side Rennes last year when he netted 18 times in 34 appearances in all competitions. Prior to joining Rennes in 2022, he made five appearances for PSG and enjoyed success during loan spells at Lens -- scoring 21 goals in 65 outings. "When I heard about the interest from Forest, I was honoured. This is a proud moment for me, joining a team who had a strong season last year and a club with great history," said Kalimuendo. "I'm ready for the challenge, and I arrive here with good experience. I had a good season last year with goals and assists but I want more and want to reach a new level here." Two-time European champions Nottingham Forest finished the 2024/25 season in seventh place after surprisingly spending much of the season in the Premier League's top three. Before the start of the new campaign, manager Nuno Espirito Santo endured a disappointing pre-season -- no wins and only one goal scored in seven matches -- and a disappointing transfer window. However, Forest kickstarted the season with a comfortable 3-1 win over Brentford on Sunday and new signings have begun arriving at the City Ground. The recent additions of winger Dan Ndoye, playmaker Omari Hutchinson and ex-Manchester City midfielder James McAtee have bolstered Nuno's squad. "It's been a busy few days for us — the culmination of a lot of hard work from our staff over a number of weeks," said Forest chief football officer Ross Wilson.
