New Paris goalkeeper fails: PSG still wins Supercup
The final for the European Supercup only ends in penalty shootouts. Favorite Paris still wins against Tottenham, which leads for a long time.
Champions League winner Paris Saint-Germain won the fifth title this year. After a 0-2 deficit, the French won the European Supercup final against the Europa League winner Tottenham Hotspur 4: 3 after penalty shootout (2: 2, 0: 1).
Since the beginning of the year, PSG had already brought the triple from the French championship, trophy and supercup and in May in Munich to the longed-for Champions League Cup. Only the final of the club World Cup was lost in July against Tottenham’s city rival FC Chelsea.
Another final defeat prevented two late goals from Kang-in Lee (85th) and Goncalo Ramos (90.+4) on Wednesday evening. They saved the favorite after the goals of Micky van de Ven (39.) and Cristian Romero (48th) in the first in the penalty shootout.
Shoot ex-Bundesliga professionals
PSG was also 0: 2 behind there before the two former Bundesliga professionals van de Ven (VfL Wolfsburg) and Mathys Tel (Bayern Munich) shot for Tottenham. The Portuguese Nuno Mendes converted the decisive penalty for Paris.
The new goalkeeper of the Champions League winner was in particular. Lucas Chevalier initially missed the 0: 2 goal. In the penalty shootout, he then kept the shot of the Dutch van de Ven. His trainer Luis Enrique congratulated Chavelier immediately after the game.
Before the final, the fact that the PSG coach enforced the Frenchman’s commitment to the Frenchman and the degradation of the previous regular keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. The Italian was removed from the squad for the game in his home country and is apparently faced with a move to Manchester City. “We are still shocked to deal with PSG with Gigio,” said his consultant Enzo Raiola a few hours before the kick -off.
In a weak game, Paris, as expected, had significantly more possession. Against Tottenham’s compact five-way defense with Romero, van de Ven and the former Augsburg Kevin Danso, the French found themselves very difficult for a long time.
The only big chance of the first half awarded top striker Ousmane Dembélé in the 36th minute. The English took out the dreaded high-speed attack by the Parisian time for a long time.
Only in the final phase did the pressure from PSG grew. Tottenham retired too far – and ended up empty -handed.
