PSG beats Tottenham in penalty shootout to win UEFA Super Cup after late rally
Paris Saint-Germain produced a dramatic late rally before beating Tottenham in a penalty shootout to win the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday, securing a fifth trophy of 2025 for the French club. Nuno Mendes converted the clinching spot kick in the shootout to complete a PSG comeback that looked unlikely when Tottenham held a 2-0 lead in the 85th minute of regulation in the annual match between the most recent winners of the Champions League and Europa League. Lee Kang-in gave PSG hope by reducing the deficit with a fierce shot into the bottom corner and fellow substitute Gonçalo Ramos grabbed an equalizer in the fourth minute of stoppage time to make it 2-2 at Stadio Friuli in Udine. Even then, Tottenham moved into position to pull off an upset by taking a 2-0 lead in the shootout after Vitinha's first-up miss for PSG. However, Micky van de Ven and Mathys Tel failed from the spot for Spurs and PSG scored four penalties in a row, the last of which was slammed home by Mendes. "Sometimes football is unfair," PSG coach Luis Enrique said. "I have to say we were very lucky in the last 10 minutes that we could score two goals." PSG won the Champions League-Ligue 1-Coupe de France treble last season, along with the Trophee des Champions in January. The only blip came in last month's defeat to Chelsea in the final of the Club World Cup, a competition which extended PSG's 2024-25 season into mid-July. Luis Enrique said PSG's players had only been back in training for six days and took time to get into their stride. "My players had faith until the last minute, like our supporters," he said.

PSG Beats Tottenham in Penalty Shootout to Win UEFA Super Cup after Late Rally
Paris Saint-Germain produced a dramatic late rally before beating Tottenham in a penalty shootout to win the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday, securing a fifth trophy of 2025 for the French club. Nuno Mendes converted the clinching spot kick in the shootout to complete a PSG comeback that looked unlikely when Tottenham held a 2-0 lead in the 85th minute of regulation in the annual match between the most recent winners of the Champions League and Europa League. Lee Kang-in gave PSG hope by reducing the deficit with a fierce shot into the bottom corner and fellow substitute Gonçalo Ramos grabbed an equalizer in the fourth minute of stoppage time to make it 2-2 at Stadio Friuli in Udine. Even then, Tottenham moved into position to pull off an upset by taking a 2-0 lead in the shootout after Vitinha's first-up miss for PSG. However, Micky van de Ven and Mathys Tel failed from the spot for Spurs and PSG scored four penalties in a row, the last of which was slammed home by Mendes. 'Sometimes football is unfair,' PSG coach Luis Enrique said, according to The Associated Press. 'I have to say we were very lucky in the last 10 minutes that we could score two goals.' PSG won the Champions League-Ligue 1-Coupe de France treble last season, along with the Trophee des Champions in January. The only blip came in last month's defeat to Chelsea in the final of the Club World Cup, a competition which extended PSG's 2024-25 season into mid-July. Luis Enrique said PSG's players had only been back in training for six days and took time to get into their stride. 'My players had faith until the last minute, like our supporters,' he said. Turbulent debut for Chevalier It was quite the debut for Lucas Chevalier, a goalkeeper who has just joined from Lille and taken over as first choice at PSG from Gianluigi Donnarumma — regarded by many as the world's best goalie. Chevalier was unlucky in conceding Tottenham's opening goal in the 39th, tipping Joao Palhinha's shot onto the crossbar only for Van de Ven to show quick reactions and prod home. He was to blame, though, for the second after failing to keep out a header from newly appointed Tottenham captain Cristian Romero in the 48th. Chevalier finished the evening by saving a penalty by Van de Ven in the shootout, a match tiebreaker in which Donnarumma often thrives. The Italian might have been watching from home, having not traveled to Italy on Tuesday before announcing he'd be leaving PSG. 'I'm very happy for him because he showed a lot of personality,' Luis Enrique said of Chevalier. Heartbreak for Frank Thomas Frank was taking charge of his first competitive match at Tottenham after replacing the fired Ange Postecoglou, who led the team to its first trophy in 17 years with a victory over Manchester United in the Europa League final in May. The former Brentford manager almost had a trophy to take home, with Tottenham initially outsmarting PSG and showing clearly it is further along in its preparations for the new campaign compared to PSG. PSG belatedly discovered its sharpness and customary slickness and hit Tottenham with the late goals in regulation, the dramatic equalizer coming from Ramos when he headed home Ousmane Dembele's right-wing cross. Frank said Tottenham 'played almost perfectly.' 'The single result, 2-2, is good," Frank said. "If you look into the performance, the shift the players put in ... wow, what a mentality. "There are lots of things to be happy with. That needs to be the foundation going forward.'

Video: Watch Nuno Mendes Convert Penalty Kick to Seal PSG's Comeback Win Over Tottenham
After being down 2-0 at one point, PSG scored two unanswered goals to level the scoring late in the UEFA Super Cup contest against Tottenham Hotspur and would defeat the Premier League side in penalties for a come-from-behind victory to lift the first trophy of the 2025-26 season. In the penalty shootout, the capital club converted four of the five shots, with Vitinha being the only one who missed. Nuno Mendes would be the last to convert and would seal the incredible win for another trophy.

The 21 best restaurants in Porto
An indication of the blossoming food scene in Portugal is that, for the first time last year, Michelin dedicated a guide to the nation alone, rather than combining its restaurant offerings with Spain as before. To underline their increasing faith, Porto was rewarded with another two-star restaurant, bringing the total of stars in the city up to 10. But it is not only the fine dining scene creating culinary excitement. There are plenty of young chefs opening innovative, ingredient-led restaurants and many of them in Porto seem to be women; something to be championed. All our recommendations below have been hand selected and tested by our resident destination expert to help you discover the best restaurants in Porto. Find out more below, or for more Porto inspiration, see our guides to the region's best hotels, bars and things to do. Find a restaurant by type: Best all-rounders Best for families Best for cheap eats Best for fine dining Best for walk-ins Best all-rounders Cozinha das Flores London-based Nuno Mendes weaves his culinary magic here to a keen crowd, creating his own niche between Michelin-starred cuisine and bistro fare. Dishes are powerfully authentic, with perfect flavours and an evident respect for ingredients. Start with a few fun snacks like doughnuts filled with spider crab or the turnip nata, Mendes's sublime take on the much-loved traditional Portuguese custard tart (filled with turnip and topped with caviar). Vegetarians will also love the celeriac heart cooked in embers with a Bolognese of smoked beetroot. All served in cosy interiors before an open kitchen and fire beyond.
