Tottenham fall short in Super Cup

Tottenham’s Super Cup loss to PSG sparks questions about morale as the new season looms.

Tottenham faces lasting damage after devastation witnessed first hand

Tottenham lost to PSG on penalties in the UEFA Super Cup after leading 2-0 in normal time, a setback that raises questions about momentum heading into the Premier League opener against Burnley. Thomas Frank did not walk away with a trophy, and the defeat could sting longer than a typical pre-season miss. The club also published exclusive comments from former goalkeeper Paul Robinson, who described the players’ reaction inside the stadium after full-time.

Robinson noted the emotional cost of the result, saying the squad were visibly devastated even before the shootout, and he warned that the lasting impact may be felt as the season begins. While PSG were not at full strength, the outcome still matters for Spurs as they pursue silverware amid built-up expectations.

Tottenham’s setback exposes the gap between expectation and execution in big moments. A strong start against Burnley will not erase the sting of losing a trophy they believed was within reach, but it could reset the mood if the players respond with urgency. The challenge for coach Thomas Frank is translating this raw, painful experience into practical gains on the pitch and part of a broader plan to sustain pressure in the league.

This episode also highlights a broader trend in Tottenham’s season build: the lure of cups versus the grind of the league. A measured recovery is crucial, and the club must balance fresh energy with the emotional toll of a near miss. Fans will watch closely whether the team channels disappointment into focus or lets it linger as a negative momentum.

Highlights

The next few days will tell if Tottenham can turn pain into progress.
