PSG 2-2 Spurs (4-3 on pens) PLAYER RATINGS: Who put in a midfield masterclass for Tottenham? Which Ballon d'Or nominee was a shadow of his usual self? And who couldn't the Champions League winners handle?
The former Brentford boss, who took over from Ange Postecoglou days after Spurs won the Europa League last campaign, almost got off to the perfect start as his new team led the Champions League winners 2-0 heading into the final 10 minutes of the match.
Spurs defenders Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero scored either side of half-time to put the north London club in full control, but PSG staged a late comeback through substitutes Lee Kang-in and Goncalo Ramos to force penalties.
Unfortunately for Tottenham and Frank, Van de Ven and Mathys Tel fluffed their lines from the spot in the shootout, handing PSG a 4-3 victory on penalties.
The dramatic defeat comes just days before the start of the new season, with Frank's side hosting Burnley at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday.
Daily Mail Sport's JAMES SHARPE gives his verdict on the players' performances after watching the action in Italy.
Paris Saint-Germain (4-3-3)
Lucas Chevalier - 6
Could do nothing about Tottenham's opener when he tipped Palhinha's effort on to the bar but should have done better with Romero's header.
Achraf Hakimi - 5
Not often beaten in a footrace but was left eating Spence's dust all game was instantly crowded out whenever he got the ball.
Marquinhos - 6.5
The inspirational captain who lifted PSG's first Champions League trophy pulled off a vital important block to stop Kudus' fierce shot heading for the corner.
Willian Pacho - 5
Bullied by Richarlison whenever Spurs went direct and bamboozled by Kudus whenever he drifted wide to close down the winger.
Nuno Mendes - 6
The marauding full-back was key in PSG's Champions League but was another who struggled in his physical battle with Porro and scored the crucial spot kick.
Warren Zaire-Emery - 5
The teenage prodigy had little impact and made you wonder if Enrique made a mistake not starting Fabio Ruiz instead.
Vitinha - 6
One of nine Ballon d'Or but a shadow of his usual self until late on when his neat ball to Kang In-Lee set up PSG's goal.
Desire Doue - 5.5
Scored twice in the Champions League final but barely had a sniff here, another who had no answer to the onslaught of Tottenham's non-stop pressure.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia - 4.5
A frustrating night. Showed nowhere near the quality he did during the Champions League last season and was subbed on the hour.
Ousmane Dembele - 6.5
Odds-on favourite to win the Ballon D'or but played far too deep to have any real impact until his superb cross set up the equaliser.
Bradley Barcola - 6.5
On the few occasions PSG did get some joy, it usually came from his dribbles into space. Saw his goal ruled out for offside that would have given his side hope. 6.5
SUBSTITUTES
Fabian Ruiz, Goncalo Ramos, Lee Kang-in, Ibrahim Mbaye
MANAGER
Luis Enrique - 7
Almost left it too late change to deal with Tottenham's direct approach but his subs changed the game.
Tottenham (3-5-2)
Guglielmo Vicario - 7
Barely had a save to make until the end but his raking free-kicks from inside PSG's half ended up being a crucial part of Tottenham's direct game plan.
Pedro Porro - 7
Always an attacking threat as he bombed forward from wing-back and a great delivery to the back post for Romero's second.
Kevin Danso - 7.5
Continually caused havoc in the PSG penalty area with his Rory Delap-esque long throws and threw his body on the line whenever trouble beckoned.
Cristian Romero - 8
A captain's performance from the new Tottenham skipper, sweeping up any danger, nodding in the second goal and lifting his first trophy.
Micky van de Ven - 7.5
Used his pace to cover the left side and allow Spence to bomb forward and then reacted quickest to poke home the opener.
Djed Spence - 7
Let's hope Tottenham's kit man remembers to take Hakimi out of Spence's shorts pocket before putting them in the wash.
Joao Palhinha - 7.5
The on-loan from Bayern Munich showed his quality in all aspects, making the most tackles and forcing the save for Spurs' opener.
Rodrigo Bentancur - 7.5
Summed up his endless energy, desire and tenacity with a lung-busting 40-yard run to close down a promising PSG attack. Top class.
Pape Sarr - 8.5
A midfield masterclass. Won huge tackles, drew fouls, got in the box and put in a crucial block to deny Zaire-Emery a tap-in during the first half.
Mohammed Kudus - 8
This is why Spurs paid £55m for him from West Ham. Quick, direct, caused problems whenever he got the ball. Linked brilliantly with Richarlison.
Richarlison - 8
PSG just could not handle him. Strong, physical, superb hold-up play, brilliant understanding with Kudus and forced a five save.
SUBSTITUTES
Mathys Tel, Archie Gray, Dominic Solanke, Lucas Bergvall
MANAGER
Thomas Frank - 7
Showed great tactical nous starting with a back three that turned Spurs into a rock-solid defensive unit but changes didn't help see out the game.

Just imagine what Liverpool will be like when Arne Slot's rebuild is complete
Imagine what Liverpool will be like when they are the finished product. It is a statement which could have been applied for the past 12 months. There will come a point during his reign when Arne Slot considers his conquests and truly believes he has reached the pinnacle with a fully formed, perfectly balanced team. If it takes successive league championships to attain such a moment of satisfaction, so be it. If anything, the addition of four new outfield players has made Liverpool even more of a team in transition than when they began defying the odds a year ago. Liverpool's challengers spent the first seven months of last season convincing themselves Slot's restructured team were too flawed, too fragile in the event of suffering injuries, and too prone to scrapping their way to three points to sustain a title charge. By March, they all realised they had underestimated Slot as his side galloped away, the Dutch coach's ability to navigate a route to glory ensuring the early-season confidence of others dissipated as the Anfield bubble refused to burst. One can imagine those same emotions in north London, Stamford Bridge and the blue side of Manchester seeing Slot's side claim an opening-night win. It is inconceivable they will defend their crown playing as open as this, the game more reminiscent of the early years of Jürgen Klopp's roller-coaster rides than the stylistic, possession game that Slot evolved in his debut campaign. The most withering criticism that could be directed at Liverpool when they squandered a two-goal lead was to query if Slot wanted to fill the void left by Ange Postecoglou's demise at Tottenham Hotspur. To lose a goal on the counter-attack when 2-0 up could be considered unfortunate; conceding two in such a fashion was rank stupidity. Rich in entertainment, low on tactical sense. Slot, the manager hailed in his early months for his canny substitutions, was also indulging in odd experiments such as deciding holding midfielder Wataru Endo can play right-back (a mercifully short-lived expedition). And with the utmost respect to match-winner Federico Chiesa, even he seemed to have been sent on in hope more than expectation as the game was in danger of drifting entirely Bournemouth's way. Yet this team and this stadium have an uncanny habit of making it all seem scripted, as if a point needed to be reiterated that their slight imperfections are outweighed by their almighty strengths. 'Winning the league here will be more impressive than beating Bournemouth, but those last six minutes… wow,' said Slot, as players and supporters formed a familiar, powerful union. Liverpool's hunger for more silverware is insatiable. When the moments of truth come, the match-winners are queuing up, in this case Chiesa. The Italian has been more of a lucky charm than a stellar signing. It would be no surprise if his game-changing volley was a farewell gift if the right offer materialises before the end of the month, although Slot may be inclined to keep him for his ability to prompt the Kop into vibrancy. Chiesa needs only to warm-up to get the crowd going. This winner cements his cult status. As the chant of 'champions' raised the Anfield decibel level to somewhere akin to last May's title party, it was easy to flirt with the clichés. Elite teams always find a way, even if when Antoine Semenyo equalised for Bournemouth it was they who looked the more accomplished team and most likely to collect three points. Winning in the 90th minute is what title-holders tend to do, the hands of the clock seemingly existing to usher them towards the last, meaningful contributions before applauding the victorious players off. That will not alter the fact Slot has problems to solve, the introduction of Florian Wirtz adding glitz while the absence of the suspended Ryan Gravenberch added a glitch. Wirtz is a symbol of Liverpool's transition. He is so adept at finding space he could be employed by Nasa, and such is the delicacy of his touch, it is rather like he is dribbling with porcelain. But two games into his Liverpool career, the world is awaiting the first spectacular exhibition of his artistry. He is like a ballet dancer building up to his first pirouette. You sense it is coming, but so far there is more anticipation when he takes possession than a final product. Much of this is because of acclimatisation. Wirtz was often in position for a team-mate's pass, but the safer option was chosen. This will alter when the rest of the team realise that Wirtz being shadowed ought not to dissuade them from picking him out, given his ability to receive possession and glide from a marker. Next week's reintroduction of Gravenberch will demonstrate if Liverpool's openness is a minor malfunction, or structural defect. Most likely it is the former. There is so much talent at Slot's disposal, with the promise of more to come, that Liverpool's capacity to thrill should continue without such vulnerability. When they get it right at both ends, they might be the hottest ticket in Europe.

Rodgers urges Celts to move away from bargain buys as boss admits potential doesn't come cheap
Brendan Rodgers believes Arne Engels is walking proof that Celtic have to invest substantial sums of money even to buy players with potential these days. The Parkhead club have been quiet to date in the summer transfer window with the manager making it clear in recent weeks that there are areas of the team which require strengthening. Despite the lack of investment, Celtic still cruised into the quarter-finals of the Premier Sports Cup with a 4-1 over Falkirk. Afterwards, though, Rodgers cited the example of the Belgian international — a record £11million signing from Augsburg last year — as a reason why they club can't always expect to make first-team players from bargain basement signings. 'His attitude is great,' he added after the comprehensive win. 'He tired a little bit so there was a little bit of looseness towards the last five, 10 minutes. But his quality from his set piece and his general work rate and intensity was great. So, no, he's a boy that gives everything. 'And there's a lot on his shoulders as an expensive player. But we bought potential. The club has bought potential many times. And a lot of them aren't here. 'This is a guy who has potential, but it costs a little bit more. 'He's nowhere near the finished article. We've just had to pay more for potential. You can buy potential at a million quid and two million quid. 'And a lot of the time, it doesn't work. Sometimes it does. I will tell you a lot of time it doesn't. 'But him, we've had to pay a little bit more to get the athleticism, to get the physicality that this team needed. And now I've got great options in there. Guys that are physical, but guys that are technical. So, I don't complain.' Although the deadline for signings players for next week's Champions League play-off against Kairat Almaty has passed, the Northern Irishman remains hopeful that he might yet be able to add two wildcards ahead of Wednesday's first leg at Parkhead. 'Hopefully, it would be great,' he said. 'We've obviously named a squad, but right up until just before the game, we can do that. So that would be really good if we can.' Rodgers was delighted with the way his side dismantled the Premiership newcomers with goals from Daizen Maeda, Alistair Johnston, Dane Murray and a Liam Henderson own goal doing the damage before Kennan Adams scored a spectacular consolation. 'I thought the performance was very, very good from the first whistle,' he said. 'You've seen the hunger in the team and the intensity in the team. The first half we were good with the ball, but not so good without it. 'It gave Falkirk a couple of wee opportunities to break through. We weren't aggressive enough and tight enough. When we correct that at half-time, we really dominated the second half. 'So, yeah, very, very pleased. The goals were excellent and I thought we played really, really well.' Rodgers was delighted for defender Murray who netted his fist Celtic goal on the day he signed a new contact until 2028. 'There's areas of the game that he needs to, obviously, work on,' said the manager. 'But he's six foot four. He's quick. He can take the ball. 'He has a comfort with the ball, which aligns with top players. And he just, again, has to work ion concentration as it's something that's key for defenders. But I really, really like him. 'And that's hence the reason we've tied him down. And I think he's got a great future.'

Celtic 4-1 Falkirk: What McGlynn said
Falkirk manager John McGlynn was taking positives out of his side's defeat at Celtic Park in the Premier Sports Cup second round."Celtic were very very good tonight," he said. "They were excellent in the way they moved the ball and the pace and intensity."We just couldn't live with them. We tried our best, but you see the difference."We have to do better. We lose the ball and we get punished."If we're going to come here and give ourselves a chance, we have to learn quickly and can't be giving up goals as cheaply as we did there."There were positives as well and of course Keelan Adams scored."We need reinforcements. We're all going to play 38 games, others will get a march on us by getting points on the board, but it'll all equal out and hopefully we'll get better as the games come around."We've targeted certain players and they're still there or thereabouts and hopefully we'll get them over the line."
