The 2025 UEFA Super Cup was the 50th edition of the UEFA Super Cup, an annual football match organised by UEFA and contested by the reigning champions of the top two European club competitions, the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League. It was played at the Stadio Friuli in Udine, Italy, on 13 August 2025.[5] It was contested by French club Paris Saint-Germain, winners of the 2024–25 UEFA Champions League, and English club Tottenham Hotspur, winners of the 2024–25 UEFA Europa League.

Paris Saint-Germain won the match 4–3 on penalties, following a 2–2 draw after 90 minutes, for their first UEFA Super Cup title.[6] In doing so, they became the first French club to win the competition. Tottenham became the first club ever to lead by two goals without winning the competition.

Summary

In the 39th minute, Micky van de Ven put Tottenham Hotspur into the lead with close range finish after Lucas Chevalier had tipped João Palhinha's effort onto the crossbar. It was 2–0 in the 48th minute when Cristian Romero scored with a downward header from the left after a free-kick from Pedro Porro which went into the right of the net past Lucas Chevalier who had got both hands to it.[8] With five minutes left, Lee Kang-in got a goal back for Paris Saint-Germain with a low shot from 20 yards into the right corner of the net, and in the fourth minute of added time Gonçalo Ramos got the equaliser when he headed the ball into the net from close range after a cross from Ousmane Dembélé on the right. The match finished 2–2 and went straight to a penalty shoot-out. Nuno Mendes scored the winning penalty to give the trophy to Paris Saint-Germain for the first time, 4–3 on penalties.[9]
